A message from
the candidates
Dear Friends,
We are honored to announce our candidacy for the Fairfield Board of Finance.
Fairfield deserves financial leadership that is transparent, accountable, and disciplined. Over the past 18 months, troubling lapses in financial controls and oversight have left taxpayer dollars vulnerable and shaken public confidence. That cannot continue.
Our community deserves better. We will work urgently to restore trust, strengthen checks and balances, and safeguard residents from further fiscal mismanagement.
We are not career politicians—we are finance professionals with decades of private-sector experience, as well as parents who care deeply about our town. We will bring independence, rigor, and real-world expertise to the Board of Finance, demanding accountability, enforcing sound budget practices, and ensuring every tax dollar is spent wisely.
But we cannot do this alone. Campaigns require resources to share our vision and reach voters across the community. Please consider supporting us today by visiting our secure donation link.
With your help, we can restore fiscal discipline, rebuild trust, and provide the responsible oversight Fairfield families expect and deserve.
Thank you for standing with us and believing in a stronger, more accountable Fairfield.
