As a 10-year resident of Brookfield, and 7-year resident of Bethel before that, Kerri has devoted countless hours to serving her community. When she learned of uneaten food rescued in the schools, she began work rescuing fresh food from retailers to deliver to area food pantries. Her work fed more than 450 families each week, reducing the carbon emissions of food waste and rescuing over a million pounds of food. Since 2012, she has volunteered annually on South Dakota's Cheyenne River Reservation to help improve the lives of impoverished Lakota children and their families who suffer from isolation and lack of opportunity. She found her legislative voice when she and her daughter traveled with Newtown Action Alliance to Washington, D.C., for the National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence and to meet with legislators to advocate for gun laws that keep people safe.
Kerri doesn't sit around hoping for change. She has marched in Albany, Brookfield, Danbury, Hartford, Newtown, and Washington. She's an activist against gun violence, for racial justice, immigration reform, to protect women's reproductive choices and safeguard the environment. She has organized postcard-writing campaigns and made phone calls to our legislators and police to call them to action. Most importantly, she has listened as people told their worries and stories.- Everyone deserves the healthcare they need. Kerri will ensure our communities, families and children stay healthy without having to choose between care and cost.
- The middle class is being squeezed in Connecticut. Kerri will apply fiscal discipline to ensure that relief is reaching those who need it most.
- Along with safeguarding affordable options for college, Kerri will focus on technical schools so every student can have a great career.
