“I am running because I believe this moment calls for leadership that brings people together, not divides them further. In a time when politics often feels divisive and disconnected from everyday life, I focus on what improves people's lives: good jobs, strong schools, and a community where everyone has a fair shot.”

(Candidate statement) “We have seen corruption and management concerns arise at DCF, PURA, CSCU, DAS, OPM, and other agencies. This points to a broader systemic problem. These leaders are gubernatorial appointees, and it is time for those appointments to receive greater oversight and scrutiny. We must do more to protect children, members of the IDD community, seniors, and all of our state's most vulnerable residents.”
