For Business Manager/Financial Secretary

CORE VALUES

Integrity

Integrity matters, Brothers and Sisters. It isn’t just part of the job—it’s how we lead. Local 716 members deserve accountable leaders by their side. We need leaders who act with integrity, tell the truth, stand by their principles, and put people before politics, and that is why I am running for re-election. I encourage you to join me at the polls on June 7th so that, together, we can continue moving Local 716 forward.

Honesty Matters. I will not sugarcoat it, the road ahead will take hard work, sacrifice, and unity. But here’s the truth:

 

A historic wave of infrastructure work is coming, and it belongs in UNION hands. We’re not chasing headlines. We’re building real careers, training the next generation, and standing up for working families with honesty at the core of everything we do. No shortcuts. No broken promises. Just Local 716 values in action.

​

Honesty

Commitment

I am committed to building a stronger, more united Local 716 for all members, regardless of classification.

​

As your Business Manager/Financial Secretary, I will continue to keep you informed about the latest news, events, and updates that matter to our local union. I will remain transparent and ensure you have all the essential information to make informed decisions. I am committed to fighting for higher wages, better medical benefits, and improved working conditions, while also negotiating to strengthen our local pension plan for the future. Together, we will provide ongoing education and leadership opportunities to empower our members and lead us forward.​

I’m running for Business Manager/Financial Secretary because I believe in the strength of our union — not just in numbers, but in unity, skill, and purpose.

​

I’ll fight to protect what we’ve built, expand job opportunities, and secure strong contracts that reflect the value of our work. I’ll continue to lead with transparency, accountability, and a deep respect for every member.

​

Together, we are Local 716, strong and together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

Strength

Experience

Experienced Leadership. Proven Results.

​

It’s been an honor to serve as your Business Manager/Financial Secretary for the last 3 years. With your support, we’ve faced challenges head on, secured strong contracts, and created more opportunities for our members.

​

Experience matters, and mine has delivered real results.

I’m asking for your vote for re-election so we can keep building on that foundation: protecting our work, growing our union, and ensuring every member has a voice and a future.

 

Let’s keep moving forward together.
