  • I stand for safe communities. Policies that keep our families safe are key.
  • Affordability is a priority. Providing key services while making sure that life as a CT resident is financially comfortable is essential for family growth.
  • I aim to grow the business climate in Connecticut. Being attractive to companies who will invest in our state will help with budget woes.

A willingness to listen to all perspectives, regardless of whether the line up with one's own views. An ability to work with all groups, even if they are opposing in view, in order to reach compromise. Most importantly, the desire to set aside one's own personal opinion when it is in direct conflict with the will of his/her constituents. The job of a legislator is to represent the community and not a particular political party or oneself.
I've been leading in the community for over a decade, giving of myself with community service. I think we should all leave the word better than we found it. I'd love to continue this work in Hartford.
The responsibilities line up almost exactly with what I believe are the most important principles of an elected official, from the previous answer. Above all, they most be willing to put the needs and views of their constituents before their own, and before political alliances.
It is certainly helpful in learning the ropes, but I value ethics and business acumen over previous experience in government.
Balancing Connecticut's budget while not going to taxpayers for ever-increasing amounts of money is definitely Connecticut's greatest challenge over the next decade.
