I had the great privilege to serve in this capacity previously, for a single term in 2008-9. I valued my experience representing District 6 on the Municipal Council. In the summer of 2009, however, I got both a new job title and a new child. My new responsibilities prevented me from considering a 2nd run for Council. In the meantime, I have served 2 terms as an Amesbury Library Trustee and also chaired a 2010 Ad-Hoc Citizen's Committee appointed by the Municipal Council to comment on the City's overall financial position.
I am inspired to run for Municipal Council by a few things:
- My wife and I love this community and want to see it continue to grow and prosper, especially now that we are raising a child in it.
- I am concerned about the devil's choice that the City had to make this year with the School budget.
- I want to support continued progress in Amesbury's ongoing development, such as the improvements slated for the Lower Millyard and improved infrastructure planning.
- I want to insure that we continue to adhere closely to the Amesbury Master Plan and, if possible, have it updated.
Here in Amesbury, I have had the privilege to serve on several boards and committees, including:
- Amesbury Master Plan Implementation & Oversight Committee (2005-2009)
- Amesbury Charter Review Committee (2006-7)
- Amesbury Municipal Council, District 6 (2008-9)
- Ad-Hoc Citizens Committee Chair (Municipal Council, 2010)
- Amesbury Library Board of Trustees (2010-present)
