Other Info

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I am running for state office to build a better future for all of us. We need to restore fiscal sanity and stability to our government. We need to restructure and right-size our government, and we need an economic plan to become business-friendly to grow our state economy. Having the government pay a few companies to move to Connecticut or to remain here, while ignoring all of the others, is not a sustainable economic policy. We need change and we need it now.

Connecticut should be a great place to live and work. We enjoy a great location, many natural resources, have a highly educated workforce, and we are one of the wealthiest states in the nation. We can do better. We must do better.

Let's work together to fix our broken state government.
