My hope is to represent the people of the 36th district with honesty, integrity, and transparency. We have sat back for too long as we have seen our great state ravaged by high taxes, higher energy costs, and government power becoming too centralized in our Executive Branch and bureaucratic agencies thanks to the damaging policies done by the Democrat leadership in our General Assembly.
As the Republican candidate, if elected, I will work with my fellow Republicans and Democrats to fight for lower taxes to help ease the financial burdens that our residents face today. I will fight to give power back to the parents when it comes to their children's education, and I will fight for more open and transparent government to ensure the power lies in the hands of who it was intended for, the people of the State of Connecticut.
- Fully equip police and first responders
- Control in the hands of the towns and less government
- Uplift and modernize the education system.
