Our Platform

An Affordable Connecticut for All

    • Does your cost of living keep going up and your credit card balance too?
    • Are you a senior on a fixed income and running out of solutions?
    • Do you see hungrier and more homeless on the street?
    • As your next state senator and a fiscal conservative, I have solutions!

    Connecticut’s 6th Senate District faces a pressing challenge; the increasing cost of living that forces families to make difficult choices between paying bills and putting food on the table. This financial strain not only affects families but also takes a toll on seniors on fixed incomes and contributes to the exodus of businesses from the state. The repercussions of unaffordability are evident in the rising rates of homelessness and housing insecurity. It is imperative to develop comprehensive solutions that make Connecticut more affordable, ensuring a thriving community for all.

    Good Jobs and a Strong Economy

    • Is our State Legislature hindering business growth and stifling job creation?
    • Is your employer thinking of leaving the state like so many others?
    • Does the CT Legislature fail to champion initiatives that fortify the local economy and lay the groundwork for sustained generational prosperity and well-being?
    • As your next state senator and a fiscal conservative, I will support our economic growth!

    Our district was once the industrial capital of Connecticut. Our State Legislature should collaborate with our businesses, fostering a positive environment rather than hindering their growth. Connecticut consistently ranks as one of the least business-friendly states in the nation, leading to a concerning trend of businesses relocating and, consequently, the loss of crucial job opportunities. As the next State Senator for Connecticut’s 6th Senate District, I am committed to overturning detrimental legislation enacted by the General Assembly that stifles job creation.

    To ensure a thriving future for our community, it is vital to champion initiatives that enhance job prospects and fortify the local economy. This endeavor not only grants residents access to meaningful employment but also ensures that financial resources circulate within the community, laying the groundwork for sustained prosperity for generations to come.

    Prioritizing Education 

    • Are you a concerned parent regarding your child’s education?
    • Do you know how the school district budget is funded?
    • Do our towns receive their fair share of funding for education?
    • As your State Senator, I am committed to championing policies that ensure every child has the opportunity to fulfill their potential and contribute to our community’s success.

    Together, let’s empower education and secure a brighter tomorrow for the 6th District.

    Our children are the heart of the future of our district. Yet, underfunded schools and limited resources hinder their ability to thrive. Access to quality education should not depend on zip code or economic status. As your State Senator, I will work to bridge the gap in educational equity, ensuring that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. This includes expanding access to early childhood education, increasing funding for special education programs, and supporting initiatives that address the diverse needs of our student population.

    Realizing our vision for a stronger education system requires collaboration at every level. I will work closely with local school boards, educators, parents, and community stakeholders to develop policies that reflect the needs and aspirations of our district. Together, we can build a brighter future for our children. 

    Getting our Fair Share in State District 6 

    • Are you aware of the State funding gaps in our District’s towns?
    • Do you know which programs are affected by these gaps?
    • Do our towns receive their fair share of funding for education, infrastructure, and senior resources?
    • As your next state senator, I am committed to helping our municipalities secure their fair share!

    Advocating for equitable distribution of funds within the 6th Senate District is essential for the advancement and well-being of our community. Inadequate funding for Payment in Lieu of Taxes (P.I.L.O.T.) has detrimental effects on crucial services and infrastructure, placing a strain on local budgets and diminishing resources available to our communities. Addressing the funding gaps is imperative, and we must actively work towards securing increased education funding and improving bonding formulas for our district.

     It is crucial that we receive our fair share, and it is time for someone to take the lead in championing this change. Our current state delegation has not been sufficiently proactive in advocating for our towns to receive their equitable share. As your next state senator, I am committed to collaborating with our municipalities and local elected officials to secure increased state funding. This funding will be directed towards vital local programs, such as education, infrastructure, and resources for our seniors.
