As president of the town council, I pushed hard for the creation of our new Resilience and Energy Committee.  This group of dedicated residents are all experts in their fields who are helping us get ready for and recover from natural disasters. I’ve also asked our planner to seek a grant to hire a chief resiliency officer.

Barrington’s beauty and character are shaped by the waters that surround us. Unfortunately, those waters are rising. We know for certain that we will someday face another hurricane with devastating flooding. We just don’t know when. 

We have emergency management plans in place for evacuating and protecting our citizens and critical infrastructure, but we also need to prepare for that time after the storm.   

If reelected, I’ll work hard to make sure our town is prepared for the storms that will come, and that Barrington will bounce back strongly.
