It has been an honor serving as your State Representative at the Capitol. I am now running for re-election because I want to continue to be your voice in Hartford! There is no question that these are challenging times for all of us. Over and over again, residents have said that our state has become unaffordable. Increasing taxes, fees, and education and healthcare costs have squeezed family budgets and hurt our quality of life.
