Quality of Life
I am a firm believer that a City is as strong as its neighborhoods and those who live within it.
The quality of life for all citizens will be key in my administration.

Neighborhoods
My administration will deal with the long standing blight and abandoned vehicles in neighborhoods. One way of attacking this problem is by filling the Code Enforcement Officer position which has been vacant the last several years. This position will be tasked with enforcing City ordinances and working with landlords to make sure properties are safe and well maintained. I will work to develop alternative plans and programming to restore properties when necessary. I will require that the Building Department and Police Department work in tandem to free neighborhoods of blight and drugs.
We must address the rampant drug problem and petty crime in our neighborhoods. I will have no tolerance for drug activity in this City. Our citizens have the right to be safe in our homes and walk safely on the streets of our neighborhoods. I will work diligently with city and state officials on strategies to combat crime within our City and to ensure that all citizens struggling with drug and alcohol or mental illness have access to effective treatment services to help take their lives back.

Senior Citizens
I will make certain that our senior citizens are safe and secure in their homes and work to advance projects for affordable and assisted living for our seniors. I will establish programming and services for our seniors in North Adams. I will respect our aging population as they are the roots of this community and work with organizations to ensure their needs are met. North Adams will be a safe and affordable community for our senior citizens under my administration.
