Education runs deep in my family. My parents, in-laws and wife are all teachers, and my son is following in their footsteps. I see first-hand what our schools and students need to truly succeed.
Redirect spending back into classrooms, where 1 teacher and 1 para are stretched across up to 24 students
Require a minimum of 10 years classroom experience for all administrative positions
Offer Pre-K as an option while working with the state and employers to cap childcare costs and expand family tax relief
Expand tech education and trade programs to support hands-on and visual learners beyond standardized instruction
Connect students to MEP trades to address the region's critical and growing workforce shortage
Raise school system rankings to drive growth and make Wallingford and Middlefield a destination for families and businesses
AFFORDABILITY
Connecticut should be a place where everyone can afford to live, work, and build a future.
Cut unnecessary spending and hold the line on taxes
Support small businesses and policies that grow good-paying jobs
Reduce energy costs that hit families and seniors hardest
Make Connecticut competitive so residents stop leaving for cheaper states
Fight for fiscal responsibility that benefits working families — not special interests
HEALTHCARE
Having a son diagnosed with congenital heart disease in utero and watching him endure six surgeries, four of them open heart, I understand firsthand the true cost and value of quality healthcare.
Advocate for healthcare plans that balance the burden fairly between employers and employees
Develop incentives and potential tax breaks for companies that provide quality, affordable healthcare coverage
Support solutions that reduce the financial strain on both small businesses and working families
