At the moment of consciousness, we begin making decisions. We decide to look left or right, we decide to yell or remain silent. We continue to make these decisions throughout life, and as we age, they become more important and more impactful to ourselves and others.
I have made a decision. I have seen a desperate need in our Country, and more specifically in my very community of Stamford, that requires more than just passive support. As my wife Lauren and I raise our wonderful daughter Addison here in Stamford I have decided to take an active role in the betterment of this Community. I intend to serve as the next Congressman for District 147, Stamford Connecticut. I will bring with me a degree in Economics and Business, a wealth of experience in Accounting and Business Management and a sincere desire to see Stamford flourish for my Family and Community.
Stamford Connecticut is perhaps a microcosm of a systemic problem plaguing our Government. Politicians born, raised and groomed to serve in office as a career. The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, lauded a government “of the people, by the people” in a Nation blessed and watched over by a higher power, God. That is not the sentiment in the 147th district of Stamford. The 147th district is not simply represented by a career politician but a by-product of bureaucracy woven by the very fabric of big government. He is- ECONOMY – Stamford residents deserve value for their tax dollars. As Congressman I will scrutinize how our Government is spending money and be a watchdog for wasteful and unnecessary spending. With my background in Economics and Business it is both a top priority and an area I bring applied life experience too.
- SAFETY – There is no acceptable level of Crime in Stamford! I will thoroughly support law enforcement in their pursuit of our Safety. I will work with the Community to develop preventative and lasting strategies to prevent crime and keep Stamford safe
- EDUCATION – Parents should not have to worry that their children are not being provided a foundation for success in our public school system. We most focus on ensuring our children have a safe environment conducive to learning. We must ensure the teachers have the tools they need and the children reap the benefits.
