My experience includes training people in community development and launching enterprises that created real economic opportunity in small communities. I'm running because our economic system is disenfranchising working people and making the middle class unobtainable. While politicians distract us with culture wars, billionaires are stealing resources from everyday Americans. We're experiencing an erosion of democracy in the U.S., and it's our moral obligation to stand up for those being left behind. Rutland's biggest challenges are livable wages, affordable housing, and unity among our citizens. I want our city to be resilient, economically strong, safe, and welcoming to all people. I'm new to politics but I am running for a new and better future—one where every resident has the opportunity to grow individually and contribute to their community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6015c1107afdae55ced93f66/d63a48b7-69ce-40cc-8317-d658c2ab355f/Peter+Franzoni Board of Aldermen - Peter G. Franzoni Tobias Keene, D.D.S. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6015c1107afdae55ced93f66/28721835-fc7f-48cf-8ba1-771443eae32e/Alexandria+Perone Board of Aldermen - Alexandria Perone Nineteen years ago, my partner and I chose Rutland City to plant our roots and start our family. We love raising our three children here. As a stay at home parent I was able to volunteer my time with the PTO/PTC for my children’s schools, and work as a volunteer for the Promise Community. Now I’d like to use my time to help Rutland City on a larger scale. I am running for alderman because I want to help Rutland grow and thrive as a safe, and affordable community for everyone. As your Rutland City Alderman I commit to being transparent and accessible. Elected officials are, first and foremost, public servants. I would be honored to serve our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6015c1107afdae55ced93f66/3da54b24-409e-4aaf-9037-4576887c4860/headshot+Anna.png Board of Aldermen - Anna Tadio Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

What I know is that local government still matters, and that the choices we make in Rutland directly affect people’s lives. On the Board of Aldermen, I’ve consistently pushed back against short-sighted cuts and easy answers that feel good in the moment but cost us for generations. I’ve helped move Rutland toward a more sustainable future by supporting long-term investments in housing, infrastructure, and our police department—work that strengthens the tax base and protects affordability over time rather than eroding it. As Board President, I worked to lead with steadiness, patience, and respect for process. As an Alderman, I have not shied away from speaking up on difficult issues when it mattered. I’m running for re-election because I believe that kind of leadership still matters—and because I know there is more work to do.
