Bringing Colchester Together - 2025
In November 2023, Colchester came together to deliver change at Town Hall. Since then, I've been working for you as First Selectman to move our town forward and to stand up for our community values. Together, we've reinvested in public works and infrastructure, improved maintenance town-wide and at the Recreation Complex, completed the new Senior Center, and restored financial transparency and stability.But there is so much more work to do. That’s why I’m running for re-election this year and why I need your help again in 2025.
Tradition meets Tomorrow
Why I love Colchester
I'm a fourth-generation Colchester resident and I love my hometown. My husband Jack and I live in our historic house on the Green which we are currently working to restore. The home was once owned by my great-grandparents, former fire chief Harold Brown and his wife a local school teacher named Dorothy Brown.I grew up in Colchester and graduated Bacon Academy. I always appreciated the strong sense of community we have in town. As someone who spends a lot of time hiking and trail running, I'm grateful that we live close to nature but still have an active business community and commercial activity.In Colchester, you're never far from what you are looking for. I love being able to visit small businesses downtown and in Westchester or stop by a local farmstand, winery, or brewery. You can run, walk, or bike on the airline trail or meet up with neighbors and even friends from out-of-town at the RecPlex. Events on the Green bring people together, like our excellent farmers' market. Historic buildings and rich history add to the charm. And if you can't find what you're looking for in town, Colchester has easy highway access and sits pretty conveniently between several larger towns and cities. Our location is one of our biggest strengths and we should be leveraging that as a town to apply for grants that support economic development, walkable streetscapes, and historic preservation.It's no wonder people choose to raise families in Colchester or choose to retire here. I believe in strong schools because Colchester's next generation deserves the same opportunities I had as a student here, and I believe in strong senior services so people like my own parents can continue to enjoy and feel safe in their home and community.Since 2023, I've loved being able to serve the people and community I love right here in my hometown.
