A People-Centered Approach

Throughout Windsor County and the surrounding areas, many people are increasingly losing faith in government—feeling ignored, shut out, or believing their voices don’t truly matter. Years of complicated bureaucracy, lack of transparency, and persistent political gridlock have left far too many citizens feeling that government is distant, unapproachable, or only effective for a privileged few.
