    I have had the privilege of working with Will for several years under two administrations on numerous major initiatives impacting all employee groups. Throughout that time, he has consistently proven to be a trusted thought partner, a strategic visionary, and a transparent leader. Will has the unique ability to see the big picture while building collaborative relationships that inspire confidence and drive meaningful results.

    It is time to give someone with a long-term vested interest in Plan D the opportunity to have a seat at the table and help make impactful decisions on behalf of Plan D members. Will’s integrity, insight, and unwavering commitment to those he serves make him an exceptional choice, and I wholeheartedly endorse
