Robin is running for reelection to the Brighton Town Board in 2025, and needs your help to continue the work she began in her first term. Her accomplishments in her first two terms include:

• Spearheaded the creation of the Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Advisory (IDEA) Committee, which enabled Brighton to hire the only full-time Chief Diversity Officer in Monroe County and possibly in New York State;
• Enacted Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), which saved Town residents a total of $1.6M in its lifetime;
• As liaison to the Sustainability Oversight Committee, worked with stakeholders to use New York State Energy Research & Development (NYSERDA) grants to fund rooftop solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and other initiatives. As a result, the Carmen Clark Lodge at Brighton Town Park is a carbon-neutral structure!
• A local law that prohibits housing discrimination based on source of income;
• A local law that requires disciplinary actions within the Brighton Police Department to be approved by the Town Board;
• Coordinating with stakeholders to develop a letter in support of carbon pricing at the federal level and investment in infrastructure to ensure immediate and equitable action to address the climate crisis.
• A local law that requires contractors to have Renovations, Repair or Painting (RRP) lead certification when applying for certain building permits where lead may be disturbed, which was recognized with an award at the Annual Meeting of the Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning.
• Collaborating with the Director of the Native American Cultural Center to develop a territorial acknowledgment to recognize the historical and ongoing contributions of Native Americans to stewardship of the land encompassed by the Town of Brighton.

Today, we are faced with more challenging times than any in recent memory. With the re-election of Donald Trump as President, we can no longer look to the federal government to lead on issues of climate, let alone issues of justice and equity. Now more than ever, we need compassionate, thoughtful leadership governing the Town of Brighton, paving the way to a brighter future for our entire community.
