“Even before he became a citizen, MD began to give back to the country that had taken him in. His charitable work found its focus during the pandemic: MD secured and distributed masks and PPE for our community, 1000s of boxes of food for families, and his COVID vaccination clinics through the Bangladesh Community Center saved lives. Senator MD lives in Manchester with his wife Yelena and their 3 children.”
(Candidate statement) “As an entrepreneur, MD has extensive experience working and creating jobs in Connecticut's economy. He believes that to sustain and grow our middle class, we need a state government that fosters growth through targeted investments, reduced college and technical school costs, and aligns our workforce with the jobs of tomorrow.”
(Candidate statement) “MD spent much of the pandemic volunteering, giving his time and resources to efforts like community vaccination programs and mask distribution. He was on the frontlines helping people in our community because he believes that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. He'll support a Public Option, and will always ensure our safety net is fully funded.”

“She worked multiple jobs—from restaurants and retail to hospitality, juvenile crisis intervention, sales, nonprofit leadership, and real estate. Those experiences taught her resilience, accountability, customer service, and the dignity of hard work. They also shaped a belief she carries with her today: lived experiences shape us.”
(Candidate statement) “For nearly twenty years, Jenn has served as Executive Director of the Connecticut Heating & Cooling Contractors Association, working alongside contractors, educators, legislators, labor organizations, and state agencies to strengthen Connecticut's skilled trades workforce, expand apprenticeship opportunities, and support the small businesses that keep our economy moving.”
(Candidate statement) “She believes every decision should be measured by one simple question: Does this create greater opportunity for the people we serve? Whether advocating for stronger career pathways, fiscal responsibility, or student success, Jenn believes government cannot create success—but it can create the conditions for people to build it.”
