Foster Respectful Dialogue: I am committed to moving Vineyard to a bright future through respectful dialogue regardless of political positions as we listen to understand and not to win.
Solve Problems Collaboratively: With respect and understanding, I can bring people together to address Vineyard’s challenges collaboratively. We achieve far more when we focus on solutions together.
Build Bridges: I reach out to residents with viewpoints that differ from mine to seek understanding and maintain open office hours. Finding common ground starts with genuine communication which requires dedicated time with individuals.
