Healthy Community

 COVID-19 recovery is on people’s minds. We want a healthy environment where we are safe and that we can enjoy.  And, we want to live our lives as easy as possible.

I will:

  • promote accurate COVID-19 information guided by science

  • ensure we have COVID-19 testing

  • supply PPE and other resources to children, teachers, first responders and essential workers to stay safe

  • fight to provide affordable public health insurance options

  • ensure access to quality medical care

  • protect our environmental assets, including Candlewood Lake

  • Hold Eversource accountable for service failures

Economic & Business Development

As a business owner and business advisor for Western Connecticut SCORE,

I will:

  • provide business with science-based COVID-19 information that keeps them safe and keeps businesses afloat

  • work to cut red tape and streamline processes for businesses

  • keep taxes low through more effective practices

  • work to reinvent, expand and create businesses

  • ensure funding for schools and align them to match upcoming jobs

  • lower healthcare costs for families and businesses

  • ensure funding for infrastructure improvements

Environmental Protections

A healthy environment is one with clean air, water and land. Safe lakes for enjoyment and living a life with consistent lights.  I will:

  • work toward management of invasive water and land species

  • beautify properties with native plantings

  • curb the use of pesticides and herbicides along waterways.

Quality Schools and Libraries

A quality school is one that has ample resources and quality educators. During COVID-19, we must ensure our students, teachers and other safe members are safe and learning.

I will:

  • work so that every school has what it needs for students to learn and teachers can teach

  • advocate for full-funding for our schools

  • be a voice for teachers and parents in Hartford
