Candidate for Connecticut Senator
in the 31st District
Why I’m Running
The people of Bristol, Plainville, Plymouth, Thomaston, and Harwinton deserve a senator who listens, shows up, and gets things done.
Throughout my career as a program developer, evaluator, community organizer, and advocate, I have brought people together to solve complex problems. I've learned that the best solutions come from listening first, understanding people's experiences, and working across differences to create meaningful change.
That's exactly how I intend to serve the 31st District. As your senator, I will work to bring resources back to our district, lower the everyday costs families face, and ensure that our communities have a strong voice at the table in Hartford.
But first, we need to build a campaign that will make this possible, powered by neighbors, families, and community members across the district. This starts with you.
Help Us Reach Our Goal
We are raising $15,000 to qualify for Connecticut's Citizens' Election Program. This program helps ordinary citizens run for office and represent their communities by providing public financing to qualified campaigns. Once we reach this goal, we receive state matching funds and can expand our outreach through door-knocking, community events, and conversations with voters across the district.
To qualify, we also need 300 donations of $5 or more from residents of the 31st District.
Whether you can give $5, $25, $100, or more, every contribution helps us reach voters across the district and build the community-based campaign needed to win.
Together, we can build a campaign that puts people first and gives the 31st District the strong voice we deserve.
Thank you for your support, encouragement, and friendship. I'm excited about the opportunity to serve our communities, and I hope you'll join me in this effort.
