I would like to thank everyone who supported my return to the state legislature. Unfortunately, the vote didn’t go our way.
I called Raghib Allie-Brennan and wished him the best going forward. I asked to sit down with him and chat about some ideas I have.
We may not agree on everything, but we need to all work together for our state. #bipartisanship … See MoreSee Less

The Bethel Police have some important information for the community.
This post also underscores the importance of changing the police pursuit policies my opponent created last year that have resulted in more stolen cars in our area. Emboldened criminals know they can’t be chased and, due to the police accountability bill, in most cases they can’t be searched.
We must allow officers reasonable discretion in who they can pursue and give them the best training possible to help them in their decisions. … See MoreSee Less

I have made this campaign about issues important to our communities, such as Connecticut’s Affordability and local decision making on zoning, schools, and public safety.
A question was posted on a local Facebook group and I think it’s important to share.
Question: “What is your position on School Resource Officers?”
My answer: “I think SROs are great way to protect schools and give kids a positive experience with police.
My understanding is my opponent does not favor SROs in any school, but I think communities should have the choice to determine the need for SROs and their roles in the community.”
My position has remained clear that residents deserve to have say over how their communities are built, how their kids are educated, and how their communities are protected.
Please support my return to the legislature with your vote on Tuesday! … See MoreSee Less

Kudos to the Danbury Newstimes for their article on the 2nd district race.
Although, I am troubled by my opponent’s responses.
First, the police accountability bill crippled police recruiting, especially among minorities. We have already seen this across the state. Just ask a cop.
Second, he says he supports pay raises for police. A State Rep has no control over pay raises in our communities and to assume pay is the issue for police is missing the point and disrespectful to police officers. They are advocating for our safety, not asking for money.
Finally, he claims he consulted police chiefs for the bill. What he didn’t say is our chiefs were against it.
This is why we need experience in Hartford at this pivotal time. We can’t afford putting politics above common sense or public safety.
Numerous police groups and unions have endorsed me and are ready to work with me to ensure accountability without sacrificing safety or passing on exorbitant costs to our communities that raise our property taxes.

Here are 800 jobs not coming to Connecticut solely because our state isn’t affordable.
We can make Connecticut affordable if we elect the right people.
In 2017 and 2018 Republicans and Democrats were close in numbers in Hartford. There were significant Republican contributions to the budget process that led to the healthy rainy day fund we have today. 2017 is proof we can get more done when political parties work together. #endlonepartyrule
Please return me to the State Legislature with your vote on Nov 3rd.

Make no mistake, zoning and school regionalization are on the ballot!
Bills were introduced in 2019 and again this spring that would reduce the influence parents have over their schools and residents have over their communities. The effort to regionalize is gaining momentum.
There is currently a lawsuit against the town of Woodbridge, the Mayor of New Haven is calling for a “suburb” tax, and the Desegregate CT is taking aim at towns like Bethel and Redding.
Unlike my opponent, when I return to Hartford, I will work to maintain local decision-making over our schools and zoning.
Please support me with your vote on November 3rd.

While exclusionary zoning exists in towns throughout Connecticut, it thrives in Woodbridge. A group of prominent civil rights attorneys is looking to change that.
