I am a scientist running for office because more than ever we need that perspective in government. I also have an understanding of the struggles of working class families in the 99th district. The residents in East Haven deserve to live, work and retire with security and dignity. I want to bring bold new ideas to Hartford to help make that happen.
  • Get the state through COVID-19 and better prepare us for any future pandemic.
  • Demand the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes so working-class people like us can finally stop carrying the burden.
  • Create a strong public health insurance option and cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs.
Tax equity. Public health and insurance. Climate and environmental policy.
