Big Ideas,
Real Impact.

As your Representative, I come up with ideas for legislation based on real life experiences of my constituents. This coming session, I’ll continue to work on affordability, protecting the most vulnerable, saving our state from harsh federal policies, and more - it’s hardly an exhaustive list! But if you have an idea, please let me know. We can work together to keep Connecticut moving forward.

  • This coming session, I will again introduce municipal aggregation. I first proposed municipal aggregation in 2019, and it finally passed out of committee last session. It allows towns to band together and negotiate lower, more stable electric-supply rates using the purchasing power of thousands of customers. Residents keep their utility and can opt out at any time, it simply gives consumers more leverage to lower the supply portion of their bills.

    I will also introduce legislation to pilot an Electric-Share program between Cheshire, Hamden, and Wallingford Electric. Wallingford Electric has lower rates and better service than Eversource or UI, and we all should benefit from their good work. In return, Wallingford will generate revenue to keep their taxes down. Its a win-win-win!

    My opponent has been saying this will cost $55 Billion, which made me do a spit-take! This will literally not cost taxpayers a dime more. The idea will be studied, including eminent domain. This is a long-term solution, not a quick one-off. It takes time, but it’s worth looking for options.

    The past few years, I have introduced legislation to force a state takeover of Eversource to make a state run not-for-profit utility, making our electric grid beholden to residents, not shareholders, and allow for more municipal electric. This was a bold idea, meant to spur more discussion instead of the small nickel and dime changes proposed by the legislature.

    It’s time for a bigger, bolder solution, and we won’t get anywhere if we just keep nibbling around the edges of transformational change.

  • Since being elected, I have been successful in bringing home more funding than ever, resulting in lowering property tax increases. But now it’s time to think bigger. I will propose legislation to automatically refer a municipality to state review and fiscal monitoring for any one-year property tax percentage increase over 4%, and require oversight for any equalized mill rate over 40 mills. It will help our towns be more fiscally responsible, and result in taxing you less!

  • I will do everything I can to keep the MAGA agenda out of our fine state; keep ICE from snatching good, hard-working citizens; protect our free speech, open press and fair elections; and defend the Constitution and The Bill of Rights will every ounce of my being. I believe in America, and the ideals which truly make us great - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
