"On February 1st, 2022 I was sworn in at our capitol as the New State Representative of Connecticut's 144th District and promised to do my utmost to uphold your faith in our constitution and in our government.

Since taking office I am proud to have successfully worked to Invest in Education, Revitalize our Economy, Defend Abortion Access, Protect our Seniors, and Fight for Veterans and First Responders.
