Why do you do “the work?”
I want to contribute to a future where all Connecticut residents can thrive in their home state.
What are some specific places or things you love in Connecticut?
I enjoy spending time in Bridgeport, where I grew up. Most weekends I spend my time visiting family, taking a stroll in Beardsley Park, and enjoying a meal at one of my favorite local spots.
