Restoring the Farmington Community Library to its once-proud status as a jewel of our community. Over the past few years, the library has been used as a political football. I pledge to vote for library board trustees who will put the best interests of the library — not a political agenda — first.

As your representative, I won’t blindly approve rezonings and redevelopments without first considering how those affect you and your neighborhood.
