Dear Friend,
Another Election Year is upon us and these are exciting times in the City of Holyoke. We will be welcoming in a new Mayor and there are some openings on the City Council. Incredibly, at the youthful age of 37, I am now the 3rd most senior member of the City Council and the Most Senior member of the important Finance Committee.
For 16 years, I have been your fiscal watchdog and the best friend of Holyoke’s taxpayers. During my tenure, I have kept the devil at the door in order to root out government waste and abuse in order for you to enjoy a city government that is more responsive to your needs and less taxing on your pocketbooks. I am a leader who is always prepared and always vigilant in the defense of Holyoke’s important priorities and basic common sense. During these times of fiscal uncertainty, Holyoke voters know they can turn to me as the most qualified candidate for Councilor At Large on fiscal issues.
I have worked hard to expand our tax base with key support for new economic development while also being a good ambassador of the city and improving our reputation throughout the state and region. In 2008, Business West Magazine chose me as one of the Top 40 Young Professionals in Western Massachusetts under the age of 40. Experience counts and no one in the last two decades has a better record of constituent service, unquestioned integrity and unwavering commitment to the people of our city.
In order to continue my work on the City Council, I need your support! Fundraising for better or worst is the lifeblood of any campaign. Unfortunately, the cost of campaigns, like everything else, continues to go up. I have always been able to count on you and this is why I am asking for you to join me for my Re-election Kickoff and fundraiser.
