Piermont needs a change in leadership, not just a change of Mayor. The culture of concealment that has plagued our community during the current administration must be replaced by a real embrace of transparency and public discourse, one which my opponent only pays lip service to in platitudes and vague promises. So far, I have seen no concrete policy platform, and his whispering campaign speaking only behind closed doors where falsehoods are safe to go unchallenged does not telegraph leadership. Declining to engage with the public on the basis of my participation in the discussion should be a disqualifying decision in my opinion. There are no safe spaces for elected officials, we don’t get to pick and choose who we will hear from. Anyone who is not prepared to accept that is not ready to hold public office, or to lead our community. It seems like the candidate claiming to offer a ‘fresh start’ is actually using the same playbook as our current administration, engaging only with sympathetic audiences and avoiding real discourse with the public.
Our voters have a clear choice in this election- a Mayor who will share policy positions and listen and acknowledge constituent concerns, or one who declines to participate in uncomfortable conversations.
