Alison's Vision
-
Put People First
Create a local government that listens to residents, respects your voice, and serves the needs of the community — not politics as usual. -
Ease the Property Tax Burden
Review spending, eliminate waste, and seek creative, sustainable revenue solutions to reduce the strain on homeowners and keep Putnam Valley affordable for all. -
Foster Transparent, Collaborative Leadership
Welcome input from Town Board members and residents, and ensure all voices are heard and valued in decision-making processes. -
Support Local Businesses
Actively seek community feedback on the types of businesses that best serve Putnam Valley — and streamline processes for those that are a good fit, without unnecessary red tape. -
Make Government Work for You
End bureaucratic obstacles that delay or discourage development aligned with community values. Government should be a partner, not a barricade. -
Protect Our Land and Lakes
Preserve our ridgelines and open green spaces, and advocate for responsible, balanced development that protects our natural resources. -
Strengthen Community Connections
Offer regular, open, nonpartisan town halls and multiple channels of communication to build trust, foster dialogue, and bring people together. -
Provide Environmental Education
Equip the community with tools and knowledge to support sustainability, stewardship, and environmental health — from local food systems to ecosystem restoration.
