I am honored to be your candidate for the Connecticut State House of Representatives, 102nd District. I am already working on issues that are important to our community-property tax reform, protecting the environment, and energy policy. I have been attending meetings of the Legislative Task Force on Property Tax Reform and Smart Growth and have reached out to the Legislative Peak Oil and Natural Gas Caucus. On September 27th, I organized, with the help of 1000 Friends of Connecticut, the first-ever Shoreline Conference on Property Tax Reform and Smart Growth. The bi-partisan event attracted key elected officials, educators, environmentalists, business owners and concerned citizens from 12 shoreline towns. It's just the beginning of what I hope will be a grassroots movement that helps us create more impact in Hartford for the challenges confronted by our shoreline communities.
I truly look forward to representing you in Hartford.
