In the nearly 10 years I’ve served on the Board of Finance, I’ve worked with people of all political affiliations to move the town forward:

✔️9 town and Board of Education budgets
✔️Liason work with the Board of Education, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation
✔️Co-authored Board of Finance debt guidelines
✔️Service on the Saxe and Police Building Committees
✔️Service on the Retirement Plan Advisory Committee

And more!

Great afternoon catching up with Fire Department Chief Albe Bassett, with my dog Smudge in tow — who is lobbying for the position of unofficial mascot, despite her skittish nature! 😂

In my nearly 10 years of service on the Board of Finance, I have developed an intimate knowledge of the town’s budget process.

As First Selectwoman, I will establish transparent and detailed protocols for ALL capital projects — including a quarterly review of current, in-process, and potential capital projects.

There will be no surprise spending projects on my watch. Read more about my to-do list for the town: amyncfirst.com/priorities

Shout out to the New Canaan Beautification League for all they do — including honoring New Canaan Inn resident Ceci Murray for her years of service at their annual luncheon. Here, with my fellow NCBL members and New Canaan Inn boosters. And give it up for the amazing Executive Director and NC Rams football mom, Katarina!

The cell tower at West School, unilaterally proposed by the outgoing First Selectman, was dead on arrival.

Secret negotiations and a lack of community involvement are a disservice to the town.

As First Selectwoman, I will partner with the newly-reconstituted Utilities Commission to understand our gaps in cell service — and present a solution to the community in an open forum where EVERYONE can be heard.
