- Make CT AFFORDABLE. We are in the top 5 in every "most expensive" category there is and in the bottom ten for every positive category. We need to turn this around.
- Make CT SAFE. We need to fund the police, give them the tools and resources they need to succeed and increase the amount of officers and patrols.
- Improve education. As a teacher, I know where and how funding should be spent to improve performance.
