Why I'm Running

After twelve years of the same leadership, Beverly needs a new vision from a committed leader to confront the challenges ahead. While our city has certainly seen progress in recent decades, there is much more work to be done. As we look to the future, we must find ways to deliver essential city services while keeping taxes as low as possible, invest in the repair and improvement of our aging roads and sidewalks, strengthen public safety to preserve the high quality of life in Beverly, and provide strong support for the Beverly Public School system to meet the needs of our students. My wife and I, like many other young families in Beverly, are directly impacted by the decisions that our city leaders make, particularly with regards to issues like housing affordability, coastal vulnerability, and the rising cost of public services. I am ready to bring a new, qualified perspective to the Mayor’s office and I will work towards a sustainable future for Beverly.

My career has been focused on managing cities and towns like Beverly; I’ve created multi-million-dollar municipal budgets, negotiated directly with municipal service providers and unions, and identified innovative ways to save taxpayers’ money. I have the experience and skills necessary to bring real solutions to Beverly’s biggest challenges. Additionally, I’ve advocated for the needs of cities and towns across the state as a member of the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Municipal Association, where I’ve developed a network of key players across Massachusetts municipalities and on Beacon Hill. I am committed to using my expertise in municipal and financial management to ensure that Beverly not only maintains its high quality of life, but also invests in the future in a way that is both sustainable and fiscally responsible. As a resident who plans to raise my family here, I am deeply invested in the city’s success, and I am ready to dedicate my time, energy, and experience to making sure that Beverly thrives for generations to come.

I’m running for Mayor because residents deserve transparent government and responsive city services. As Mayor, I will push for increased transparency, just as I have for the last four years on Beverly’s City Council. My administration will emphasize clear communication with both residents and the City Council and will provide detailed, multi-year plans for key projects, including a road and sidewalk improvement program that addresses our infrastructure needs. Integrity, transparency, and accountability will guide my leadership every step of the way. Together, we can build a brighter future for Beverly.
