As a long term resident of Norwood, Jeff understands the challenges that can be experienced using Norwood's civic offices and procedures.
On Council, Jeff has worked to fund offices with professional staff. There is still more work to be done, but we must make city hall more "customer friendly" for residents.
A levy on the 2026 ballot to let residents decide if new tax revenue is the way to fix our roads.
Current City Council has a long term plan to address our roads over the next decade through the allocation of general funds. Norwood citizens can decide if we should expedite the repairs with a new levy or if we are going to take a more conservative approach.
In recent years housing costs have skyrocketed in Norwood, as well as the entire nation. One way our city can address this issue is by increasing the supply of housing to reduce demand; bringing down prices. It is imperative that the city facilitates housing growth, but it is just as important to protect the character of our town with responsible development.
Your government is supposed to work for you. A vital role of all our elected officials is to be transparent with expenses and operations within the city. Jeff is the chair of the Finance Committee. He works closely with the city's Auditor and Treasurer to give monthly updates on revenues and expenses.
I am proudly progressive in my political values. These values drive me to view governing differently than when I vote in national elections. Here in Norwood we need a conservative budget that balances fiscal responsibility with robust services. To me this means protecting our services to serve the people. It is my duty on city council to advocate for well-funded police, fire, and schools, and work to improve our infrastructure
