My Legislative Priorities

March 17, 2023

It’s been an exhilarating past couple of weeks after winning the special election and being sworn in as your State Representative. I want to thank you and my entire family for the unwavering support.

While it is an adjustment from municipal to state service, I am honored and ready to be a huge advocate for Hartford and Elmwood in West Hartford. I will be serving on the Environment, Executive and Legislative Nominations, and Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committees for the 2023 Legislative Session.

As some of you may know, I have been involved in public service for many years. I served on the Hartford City Council from 2015 up until the morning I was sworn into the House of Representatives. In my new role, I plan to visit several neighborhoods in-person to answer your questions and listen to your concerns so I can better represent you.

I want to bring positive change to the 6th Assembly House District, and I’m thankful you have the confidence in me to do so. Here is a list of my legislative priorities to improve our community.

  • Strongly advocate for a robust amount of state funding that can go toward revitalization projects
  • Upgrading sidewalks, lighting, and streetscapes in Barry Square, Behind the Rocks, Southwest, and South Meadows
  • Finding new ways to reduce taxes for working and middle class families
  • Creating equitable, affordable, and quality access to healthcare
  • Creating affordable and equitable pathways for higher education
  • Improving and implementing educational programs to ensure our children are graduating at a high success rate and thriving in English, Writing, Reading, and Math
  • Remediating the MIRA property in the South Meadows neighborhood for the reclamation and development for the city and its residents

You should be receiving a mailer in the coming weeks. I urge you to fill it out so I can be better informed on your priorities. I am committed to responding to all emails, texts, and calls for help and strive to be as responsive as possible. I will always advocate for legislation that directly addresses your concerns.
