Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I have exciting news to share. I am running for re-election to continue to represent you as State Representative in the 149th district. 

It has been a tremendous honor to serve the 149th district. When I ran in 2022, I promised to fight for economic prosperity and our shared values, and I am proud to say that I’ve done just that. Since I was elected, we’ve secured passage of:

  • The largest income tax cut in Connecticut’s history;
  • Stronger gun violence prevention laws;
  • Greater protection and expansion of women’s reproductive healthcare choices;
  • Historic investment in K-12 education to better prepare our students for the future;
  • Early voting (in place for the November election) 

We passed a balanced budget which makes sizable payments into the state’s rainy-day fund, pays down pension obligations, and adheres to the fiscal guardrails that are helping restore our state to financial health and spurring economic growth. I've brought millions in funding to our district, including $9.5 million to organizations in Greenwich and Stamford, and funding for our public schools.

With just a few days left in this legislative session, I am looking ahead to what is likely to be a competitive re-election campaign. The Republicans desperately want to win back this seat. 

I am determined to win and I need your help. Please donate to my re-election campaign. 


There is more work to be done - to grow our economy, jobs and further improve our state's fiscal health, protect women's rights to make their own healthcare decisions, keep our communities safe from gun violence, expand access to quality and affordable early childhood education, enact policies to help our small businesses grow, protect local zoning authority, and ensure our schools receive the funding they need.

I am energized and ready to get the job done. With your help I will be re-elected to continue to serve the 149th. Thank you for your continued confidence and support!


Sincerely,
