I work as a Public Safety Officer at a local college. I have previously managed and owned small businesses in the Health and Fitness industry as well as in the Security field.
I enjoy sports, concerts and writing.
I'm running for office to address the many issues facing our families today. I believe my family deserves better than what we've been getting from current Legislators over the past 20 years. If I selfishly go to Hartford to represent only my family, I'll ultimately be representing and fighting for everyone in our state.- Make CT more affordable especially for our young adults just starting out and our seniors living on a fixed income. That means regulating taxes, utilities, and housing.
- I pledge to make our communities and roadways safer. I support our law enforcement officers and departments in helping them overcome the difficulties they face due an Act passed by the majority party in 2020. We are currently in crisis mode as our departments including the State Police are experiencing difficulties in recruitment and retention. This leaves every neighborhood vulnerable and our roadways uncovered as we're seeing a record number of motor vehicle fatalities due to drunk driving and speeding. We need to support those that have sworn to protect us. I will Back the Blue.
- Protect Parental and Women's Rights. Government is never going to tell me how to raise my children or tell my daughters what they can and can not choose what to do with their bodies.
I'm also equally passionate about supporting our police and first responders and believe our education systems can be better to teachers and students.
