Town Supervisor – Town of New Hartford
New Hartford is a strong and vibrant community, and I believe our best days are still ahead. As Town Supervisor, my focus is on building a local government that is responsive, transparent, and prepared for the future. That means smart budgeting, thoughtful planning, and making sure residents can easily access the information and services they need.
We’ll prioritize infrastructure, public safety, and the everyday services that keep our town running while also investing in tools and systems that make government more efficient and accessible. Just as important, we’ll continue to support our neighborhoods, small businesses, and the quality of life that makes New Hartford such a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Open communication is a cornerstone of effective local government. We encourage residents to reach out, ask questions, share concerns, and offer ideas. Your voice matters—and together, we can shape a future that reflects the values and priorities of the entire New Hartford community.
I’m honored to serve, and I look forward to working with you to build a stronger, more connected New Hartford.
