What do you love most about Waltham?

There is so much to love about Waltham, but it all starts with the people. People make a community, and Waltham is a great community. We have a diverse community that is very friendly and supportive. Whenever anyone is in need, the residents of Waltham are always quick to rally in support of them. That’s what makes Waltham a true community.

What would you change if you could?

More green space on the South Side (e.g. 67 Crescent Street)

What is one burning issue you plan to address if elected?

The related issues of trash, litter and rats is something I hear about often. One thing that I propose is to replace all the open litter barrels in the Downtown and in all public parks with Big Belly solar powered trash compactors. They keep the trash in and the rats out.
