Dear Friends and Fellow Residents,I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Board of Selectmen in the May 2, 2017 municipal election! After many years of dedicated service to the town, Selectman Henry Fitzgerald has decided not to seek a third term. Serving on the Board of Selectmen has long been a goal of mine and I believe I have the requisite experience, dedication and temperament to do so effectively. With that in mind, I am actively seeking your support. My husband and I chose to move to Shrewsbury with our two daughters in the fall of 2008 based on the town’s reputation as a fiscally responsible community with high quality municipal services and thriving public schools. Since then I have been committed to doing my part to add value to the community that is our home. |

As a Selectman I will strive to make sure that Shrewsbury continues to be a great place to live, raise a family, work and retire.
If elected, I will strive to accomplish the following:
Giving back is a part of who I am. I have sought a variety of ways to contribute and set a strong example for my daughters.
During my time in Shrewsbury I’ve had the opportunity to meet many truly remarkable individuals. I am grateful and extremely honored that four of them have agreed to serve as Honorary Co-chairs of my campaign: former Finance Committee member John Campbell, local physician Dr. Nandana Kansra, fellow parent and former PTO President Lorraine Daignault, and long-time resident Brenda Ljunggren.
I am committed to earning your support. My race is contested and I am prepared to work hard to be successful, but I will need your help. From hosting a small gathering in your home to sending emails or making calls to friends about why you support me, to placing a sign on your lawn or making a financial contribution, every bit helps and is deeply appreciated.
