Meet Chris
I’m running for the Barnstable Housing Authority to make it more effective, efficient, and accessible so it can better serve the public. In Barnstable and across the Commonwealth, we are grappling with how best to approach the issue of housing: everyone needs a place to live, but how can we provide what is needed in an economical way, while maintaining our environment and everything that makes the Cape special? Finding the right balance has to be top of mind for our elected officials.As a native of Barnstable and prior candidate for State Senate for the Cape and Islands, I grew up surrounded by an ever-changing housing landscape and have become intimately familiar with the challenges our communities face today. My goal is to review what’s currently being done with the Housing Authority, identify what can be improved, and implement those changes to make a real difference for my friends and neighbors.For the past three years I have served Barnstable on its finance committee, and I was honored to be elected Chairman by my peers in July of this year. We have done some great work in reviewing and advising the Town Council on fiscal policy, and we recently played a large role in securing additional funding and concessions for the Town from a developer. I aim to apply that experience to my role as a Commissioner for the Barnstable Housing Authority and hit the ground running to deliver results for the people who need it the most.I would be honored to have your vote on November 4, 2025,
