Putting our community ahead of party politics
I’m a middle child and a redhead, so naturally I’m a little feisty. I think that will come in handy in Hartford. Why? Because my job as your state senator is straightforward: put the people of Greenwich, North Stamford, and New Canaan first. That means listening to you. Fighting for the funding and resources our communities deserve. And making decisions based on what’s right for our district — not what party leaders tell me to do.
Some days, I’ll vote with my party. Other days, I won’t. That’s how it should be.
There’s been a lot of talk about the Democratic majority in Hartford and what it would mean to elect another Democrat. Here’s what I think matters: having a seat with the majority gives our district a stronger voice when decisions are being made about funding, legislation, and state priorities.
I intend to use that voice.
But being part of the majority doesn’t mean following it blindly. It means having the power to work with people, build support, and deliver for our communities — and the independence to say no when necessary.
That independence matters.
Too often, our Republican legislators have opposed funding and legislation that helps the people in our district — from support for schools and nonprofits — to gun violence prevention, reproductive freedom, and voting rights.
Our district deserves something better: a senator who will work effectively with the majority without being controlled by it. This isn’t about which party has more seats in Hartford. What really matters is whether your senator has the influence to get things done, the independence to use her own judgment, and the backbone to put our community first.
That’s the kind of state senator I will be. A Democrat, yes. But your state senator first.
