"Given the mathematics and dynamics of this campaign, I’ve chosen to withdraw as candidate for the Town Council and give my support to Barry Peoples and Stowe Teti.
I’ve been successful in getting my issues before the public—open Council debate with time to deliberate, better communication with the residents, civil discourse, and close review of the County’s process as they create the new zones which will rule our Sector Plan.

I know that the two independent candidates, Stowe Teti and Barry Peoples—each with individual platforms, have the best interests of the Town at heart, and they share my belief in the importance of these issues.
I will continue to advocate for good government.
Please vote for transparency and responsibility. Please vote for Barry Peoples and Stowe Teti.
