I am an innovative leader, voice, and advocate for the 137th district. I am ready to craft workable solutions for difficult situations by being inclusive of viewpoint diversity, and combining the best ideas so that we can, and will move Connecticut forward.
- I want Voters to know that I am a dedicated public servant and I am someone that stands up for the people and works hard to provide results efficiently and effectively so that my constituents can live and thrive from one another.
- As an educator, I believe that fully funding our educational system properly is very important.

- We must protect women's health, and individuals access to reproductive services.
Supporting our educational system with funding.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
