Why do you do “the work?”
I want to contribute to a future where all Connecticut residents can thrive in their home state and outcomes are not limited because of a person’s home address.
What are some specific places or things you love in Connecticut?
I spend a lot of time in Bridgeport with my family and friends. I especially enjoy the parks and beach in the summer and all that Downtown has to offer.
