Good Government & Transparency
Ensuring District 16 has a voice in an open, responsive, and ethical county government.
A Commitment to Public Trust
Public service is a privilege rooted in the trust of the community. As your County Legislator, I believe that a government that works for everyone must first be accountable to everyone. My approach is shaped by my Master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and over 15 years of professional leadership, where I have specialized in building transparent and equitable organizational cultures. I am dedicated to ensuring that the Town of Newburgh and all of District 16 have a representative who prioritizes clear communication, ethical oversight, and meaningful constituent engagement.
Legislative Agenda for Transparency & Oversight
Our office is focused on creating a more open and accountable Orange County:
- Early Community Involvement: Advocating for "front-end" public engagement where residents are consulted before major policy decisions are finalized, rather than after.
- Regular Constituent Updates: Providing consistent updates through monthly newsletters, digital dashboards, and town hall meetings to keep you informed on legislative actions and county spending.
- Ethics Reform & Oversight: Supporting the work of the Orange County Board of Ethics and championing reforms that strengthen disclosure requirements and prevent conflicts of interest.
- Responsive Constituent Services: Ensuring that when you reach out to our office with a concern or a request for help, you receive a timely, professional, and helpful response.
- Fiscal Transparency: Pushing for a clearly defined and accessible budget process that allows taxpayers to see exactly how their dollars are being reinvested into the community.
