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 with my family and friends. I especially enjoy the parks and beach in the summer and all that Downtown has to offer.
