My First Days as Your New State Representative

January 19, 2023


 

I am honored to represent the great people of Simsbury as your new state representative. I will be a tireless advocate for the 16th district to bring progress, funding, and affordability for our community. I am grateful for your support, and I will work hard every day to make informed and reasoned decisions on all the important issues affecting you.

I was sworn in on January 4th at the State Capitol, and since then I've been serving on the Judiciary, General Law, and Appropriations Committees. As your state representative, I look forward to serving you.
Some of my priorities are to:
  • Create a more affordable Connecticut
  • Protect women's health and safety
  • Provide meaningful relief to our struggling seniors
  • Protect our natural resources

Thank you for your faith in me and for this opportunity of a lifetime.
