In 2023, I was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Selectboard by unanimous vote of the board. I was elected on Town Meeting Day 2024 to finish the balance of the term. Since then, the Selectboard has developed goals and priorities to help guide our budget process and decisionmaking. In the fall of 2024, we led a public education campaign culminating in two successful public votes to acquire the Woodstock Aqueduct Company, finance necessary infrastructure projects, and purchase 350+acres, doubling the town’s landholdings.

Prior to serving on the Selectboard, I was the Clerk of the Planning Commission. In that role I helped update our zoning bylaws to reflect the needs of our community and incorporate state recommendations. I also helped improve the Commission’s website by creating a central, public portal for important documentation. I still serve on the Planning Commission as an ex officio member.
