Your concerns.
My priorities.
Our victories.
I believe in a Connecticut where everyone can afford to thrive. That’s why one of my top priorities is to pursue much-needed relief to working families and seniors through taxation of the ultra-wealthy and large corporations. For too long, these parties have not paid their fair share. It’s time for working Nutmeggers to stop subsidizing their profits and lifestyles.
I also believe in reducing our overreliance on local property taxes, changing zoning law to better support all citizens’ wellbeing, blocking harmful AI data centers, and implementing state‑subsidized childcare with inclusive hours to meet all families where they are.
Affordability
I will fight for the implementation of comprehensive Healthcare for All by building on HUSKY Health. This necessity would decouple wellness from outdated “typical” working expectations, thus empowering parents, seniors, folks with limited mobility or neurodivergence, small business, and the working class in general.
I will also pursue grants and policy revision to keep our district safe through proper staffing and funding of the fire department. I also firmly believe in empowering unarmed mental health crisis responders as well as state‑mandated mental health supports in public schools to preserve our neighbors’ dignity and nurture wellness during adolescence and times of need.
No neighbor should fall through the cracks health-wise.
Public Health
As an active community member, I have seen the many ways in which political gatekeepers forget they’re working for you.
As your representative, I will fight to make local policy accessible and welcoming to all generations and fields of expertise. We need voices of neighbors working in agriculture, education, healthcare, childcare, service industries, liberal arts, and technical trades in decision-making spaces.
In addition to term limits, I also seek to support my neighbors’ civic engagement by creating structured mentorship programs for young people entering civic service. I am also committed to investing in community spaces and improving low‑cost or free public transportation to promote everyday community engagement.
Accessibility
I seek to revise outdated fiscal guardrails so fair sums of revenue reach our public schools reliably. I also prioritize bringing the Education Cost Sharing formula - which funds all public school districts in CT - up-to-date in covering inflation and other increased costs of operation.
I am also committed to protecting and expanding special education funding to ensure all students’ needs are addressed equitably and with dignity. Furthermore, I am a champion for defending a curriculum inclusive of the humanities & liberal arts to invest in leaders armed with an informed, global perspective.
