“Supporting Our Senior Center”
I was running for Board of Finance with my friend, Sheri Gordon. We wanted to demonstrate to the community that we supported the work of the Senior Center, and we also wanted to show that we had significant support from that group. The final “and so do we” makes that case (and we won).

Sheri Gordon and I ran for Westport Board of Finance in 2015 on a platform of investing in town assets such as schools, parks, and the Senior Center. This video makes the case for specific improvements at several schools.
