My priorities.

Infrastructure investment for today and the future.

Generations of short-term thinking and underinvestment in the future have led us to where we are today. It’s time we make infrastructure investments that address current needs and accounts for what is to come.

• Develop a long-term facilities plan that serves as our guiding star for infrastructure investment. Make sure this plan includes realistic projections for population growth in the city and worst-case scenarios for climate change.

• Secure federal, state and local funding.

• Pursue energy efficiency projects across the district — and put the savings towards other needs like hiring more teachers.

Full funding to meet student and educator needs.

Each year, the education budget sustains cuts that result in less support for students and educators. Budgets are value documents — let’s live our values.

• Find savings in smart ways and apply those savings to

Leading with diversity, equity and inclusion.

One of Stamford’s greatest strengths is our diversity, but diversity alone is not enough. We must lead with equity and inclusion as our guiding principles to ensure equal opportunity and a welcoming environment.
