PEOPLE, NOT POLITICS, IN 2024 🫵 ✅

Education
We have a duty to our students, teachers, paraprofessionals, and school staff to ensure they have what they need to learn and succeed in a safe and healthy environment. This includes common sense gun safety laws that aim to reduce gun violence.
-
Economy
The people who work hard day in and day out need more help. We are living in a time of record-breaking corporate profits being made on the backs of the middle class. It’s time to address our over-reliance on property taxes in lieu of income taxes.
-
Healthcare
No one should make critical medical decisions based on cost. When it comes to your health, insurance companies should not be the experts making decisions on your quality of care. Doctors should be focused on patient care instead of endless paperwork and red tape.
-
Infrastructure
Taking care of our surroundings keeps us safe and prosperous. We all rely on the roads, bridges, rails, drinking water, and wastewater systems. Focusing on intelligent investments in engineering projects saves us money in the long run.

Henry is my almost 5 year old reason for everything. He’s kind, loud, curious, active, hilarious, stubborn, loving, snuggly, and (if you ask him) a T-Rex.
Ben is my loving and amazing husband of 10 years! Orignally from New York, I’m slowly convincing him that New Haven pizza is the best. He’s a photographer, musician, and financial advisor.
