As a lawyer and experienced City Representative with nearly ten years of successful service, I possess a unique blend of qualities that I believe will make me a highly effective State Representative. My legal background has equipped me with a deep understanding of legislative processes, constitutional law, and policy analysis—essential skills for drafting, interpreting, and advocating for sound legislation at the state level. Having served as a member of the Board of Representatives, I bring extensive experience in local governance and community leadership.

During my tenure, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and responsive representation. I have collaborated with colleagues across party lines to address critical issues such as infrastructure development, public safety enhancements, and sustainable economic growth. These experiences have honed my ability to navigate complex challenges and deliver tangible results for my constituents.

One of my strengths lies in my ability to engage with and listen to diverse perspectives within our community. I prioritize constituent feedback, ensuring that their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed in legislative decision-making. This approach has been pivotal in my efforts to foster inclusive governance and build consensus on important issues affecting our city.

Above all else, I hold myself to the highest levels of ethical standards and have advocated for greater transparency and accountability in our elected officials. I am committed to ensuring that decisions are made with fairness, impartiality, and equality for everyone, regardless of their race, place of origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religion.

Further, I am committed to addressing the pressing issue of reducing the costs of living for our community. As a member of the Board of Representatives, I have consistently voted to bring more affordable housing to Stamford, while also implementing policies that promote economic stability and affordability.

I have also proven my commitment to supporting our education system by making our schools safer and well-funded. For example, I spearheaded Stamford’s efforts to place automated speeding cameras in front of our schools, and recently voted to restore $2mm from the Board of Education's budget.

As a feminist and the son of an OBGYN, I am deeply committed to ensuring that every woman has the fundamental right to make her own reproductive choices. I support access to comprehensive reproductive and gender affirming healthcare services, including contraception and safe, legal abortion.

Finally, I am a proven environmentalist as I wrote Stamford's laws regulating single-use carryout bags (including the outright ban of plastic bags), Styrofoam, plastic straws, and stirrers.

As your next State Representative, I intend to continue championing the efforts I have successfully advocated for nearly the last 10 years.

I am committed to addressing the pressing issue of reducing the costs of living for our community. I understand the financial challenges that many of our residents face, from housing affordability to everyday expenses. As a member of the Board of Representatives, I have consistently voted to bring more affordable housing to Stamford, while also implementing policies that promote economic stability and affordability. I have and continue to be committed to finding innovative solutions that improve the quality of life for all residents and ensure our community remains a place where everyone can afford to live, work, and prosper.
