Second Term Update
My Ward 3 Update: I’m sharing insights on collective bargaining, my new role as Infrastructure Chair, and the urgent $3M funding gap facing our Attleboro schools.
Re-election 2025: Promises Made & Kept
I’m humbled to be running unopposed this year—it feels like a quiet vote of confidence from Attleboro. But that doesn’t mean the work is done. My job is to keep listening, asking the right questions, and representing you with honesty. That’s why I’ll be out knocking doors this fall—because your voice matters. If you see me, please stop and chat. And if we don’t cross paths, reach out anytime. I’ll listen, I’ll answer, and I’ll always tell you the truth. See you Nov 4!
Libraries and Policy
We're approaching the end of the first 6 months of my time on the School Committee, so I wanted to take a second to update everyone on the status of a major issue that was raised during last Fall's campaign: library freedom. I'm not interested in re-hashing the past -…
Budget Talk: or, what would YOU do with $10,000,000?
If you were one of the (at last tally and according to YouTube) 88 people who have streamed Monday night's School Committee meeting, I commend your interest in the Attleboro Public Schools. This meeting was reasonably important, because the Governor has released her proposed State budget, which forms the basis…
Onward, 2024!
Onward, 2024! Tomorrow, I join Attleboro School Committee, representing Ward 3. Despite chronic underfunding, our schools excel due to dedicated staff and a supportive community. However, the thin financial margin poses risks—preventing long-term planning and relying heavily on a few key performers. To address this, I will collaborate with City Councilor Todd Kobus and advocate for state-level assistance. Yet, the ultimate decision rests with Attleboro's citizens. Tough choices are ahead, but I'm confident our community will prioritize our children's education and lift our schools from the bottom 10%. Let's forge a brighter future; our children deserve it.
DoubleACS Candidate Statement
I think by this point in the campaign pretty much everyone knows what I bring to the table and what I stand for, so I thought I'd write a love letter to the city of Attleboro. I had a blast working with the good folks are DoubleACS. Hope you enjoy…
Let’s end the MCAS Graduation Requirement
Introduction No one likes the MCAS. It's a waste of time. I'm the sort of person who gets involved in stuff, and when I found out that Representative Hawkins had authored a bill to remove the MCAS graduation requirement (and, also, prevent the state from taking control of schools who…
Dave Kane, the Legend!
The audio of my appearance on the David Kane show last Saturday is up. I think it's worth your while. Dave's smart and we really got into the weeds on a couple of topics -- my beard being one of them, but more importantly, what I think about the so-called…
“Attleboro school committee candidates differ on student book policy”
https://www.thesunchronicle.com/news/local_news/attleboro-school-committee-candidates-differ-on-student-book-policy/article_3e324e60-53cc-5a93-a221-422c26733187.html I'm happy with this article, and eight year old Aaron is going HOLY COW I'M IN THE PAPER! I didn't run for School Committee to be on the front page -- I did it because I think the School Committee needs reasonable, hard working people like me -- but…
I’m on the radio!
I had a blast on Paul Healy's show Friday morning. He's an interesting person and we went all over the place, from leather helmet football to Phish, and he was even kind enough to ask me some really good questions about why I'm running and what I think the School…
