Why I am Running.

I am running for Trustee of the Punchard Free School because I am passionate about Andover. I was born and raised in Andover. I want Andover to be a place for everyone. Andover is an excellent place to live, work and relax.

I went to High Plain Elementary School, Wood Hill Middle School, and graduated from Andover High School in 2019. I have recent first-hand experience of changes that need to be made within Andover Public Schools and how we can improve our schools for all students. I grew up in schools where school shootings were too common; we need to work to secure and harden our schools to protect our children.

I want to help usher the next generation of Andover leadership into our government. I want to bring my perspective as a Gen Z , LGBTQ individual, and lifelong Andover resident to the Punchard Free School. I believe civic engagement is critical to a functioning democracy, and I will encourage everyone in Andover, regardless of party, to participate in government. I want to work to develop healthy political discourse in the Town and foster successful and lively debates on public policy matters in the Town.
