Priorities

A WELCOMING BRIGHTON:

Implement more inclusionary zoning in Brighton, and work with the Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Advisory Board that I helped found to develop policies that will make Brighton a more accessible, affordable and connected community, that we can all continue to love.

A SUSTAINABLE BRIGHTON:

Re-affirm our community’s commitment to environmental sustainability that earned the Town of Brighton a designation as a Bronze Level Climate Smart Community, and engage with the Public Service Commission, under the auspices of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), to garner guidance and resources for responsible development.

A BRIGHTON OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY:

Work with our educational partners in the five public school districts that serve Brighton, to ensure that our youth receive the educational funding that they deserve and are promised from New York State, all while maintaining a safe and healthful climate that fosters the educational opportunity and educational excellence for which the Town of Brighton is known.

A THRIVING BRIGHTON:

Ensure that we live in a community where our elders can age in place, and in which individuals and families are not displaced from their homes by market vagaries, all while maintaining the smart growth and economic re-development enshrined in our Envision Brighton 2018 Comprehensive Plan.

A CONNECTED BRIGHTON:

Work with our Sustainability Oversight Committee to develop a Climate Action Plan that ensures that our community surmounts not only the energy efficiency goals set by NYS, but also the climate crisis facing our planet, all while attaining the infrastructure that guarantees the community is well-positioned to take advantage of the renewable energy that we have sourced in our Community Choice Aggregation program.
