I'm running for Hopkinton Town Council because residents deserve to know what their government is doing, how it's spending their money, and why decisions are being made. Right now, they don't.Public meetings have become a formality, and decisions get made before anyone shows up. I'm running to change that. Hopkinton can grow thoughtfully and spend responsibly without shutting the public out of the conversation, but that starts with trust, and trust has to be rebuilt.
About
I've lived in Hopkinton for 29 years. I'm a software engineer by trade, and an Eagle Scout who still believes in showing up and doing the work. I also volunteer with animal rescue, because giving back to this community matters to me.I've watched this town grow and change, and I believe Hopkinton's best days are ahead, but only if residents have a real voice in shaping what comes next. I'm not running because politics is easy. I'm running because someone has to.
The Issues
OPEN GOVERNMENT AND REAL TRANSPARENCY
A Town Council that meets in private, avoids explaining its votes, and treats public meetings like a rubber stamp isn't doing its job. I'll push to end the overuse of executive sessions and make sure residents can actually follow what their government is doing.A REAL VOICE FOR RESIDENTS
Public input shouldn't mean a three-minute comment period after the decision's already made. I'll work to create genuine opportunities for residents to weigh in before decisions are finalized, not after.SMART, RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
Hopkinton is growing, and how it grows matters. I support development that fits the character of our town, protects green space, and doesn't stick future residents with problems this council didn't want to deal with.FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
Residents deserve to know exactly where their tax dollars are going and why. I'll push for a budget process that's transparent, explained in plain language, and built around the community's priorities, not a small group operating behind closed doors.
