I am running for ZBA with local roots and practical solutions. I grew up here, raised a family here, built a house here. I am committed to ensuring every resident receives a fair hearing and that zoning appeals are decided with integrity, impartiality, and respect for due process. My deep ties to Westport and professional experience give me the perspective to apply zoning laws consistently and thoughtfully, always with fairness at the forefront.
