My message to ICE:
No one is above the law.

As I welcome the New Year in Smithfield, I we do so with a shared sense of purpose and possibility. This coming year offers important opportunities to build on our town’s strong foundation—honoring our history while thoughtfully planning for the future.
As I enter the 4th year of my second term on Town Council, I remain deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me and fully committed to continually serving Smithfield with integrity, collaboration, and care. Together, through steady leadership, trust, transparency, collaboration and community partnership, we can continue to strengthen the quality of life that makes Smithfield such a special place to call home.
I look forward to the work ahead and to making this year one of meaningful progress for our town.
