"I’d like to formally announce my filing and candidacy for the Rochester NH City Council Seat for Ward 2. If you or anyone you know lives in Ward 2, please help me spread the word.  The election is November 4th, 2025.  Please reach out if you have any questions.  Please help me get the information out, as City elections are “non partisan”, (the ballots will not indicate a party). I feel it’s time to be more involved in local issues, and to help our city remain the great home it’s always been for me."
