Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am someone very interested in working for the State to enhance the performance of this office. I will promote and advocate for fiscal responsibility. I will protect assets and investments for the betterment of the State residents and business owners.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will promote financial education throughout the state. Many residents and businesses are not financially literate. This education needs to begin in the K-12 school setting and I would advocate for financial education throughout the State.
• I will advocate for fiscal responsibility and enforce this throughout the State to enhance the State's financial integrity.
• I will do all I can to foster the economic well-being of all citizens and businesses in the State of Connecticut by supporting public values and fiscal prudence.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about teaching fiscal responsibility and supporting the State by fully funding State pensions.
The State pensions were bargained for and agreed upon when the employees entered into their employment contracts. We need to honor that commitment and prepare to have this fund fully prepared for all payments. Additionally, I believe that there is an urgent need to teach our citizens how to be fiscally responsible so as not to live on credit and be in danger of filing bankruptcy. The best way to do this is to teach the children while they are still in school.
