Why are you seeking this office?

To continue to ensure that the Middletown Probate District provides responsive services to the four towns and provide fair adjudication of the issues presented while protecting the fragile populations in our communities.

What do you believe is the No. 1 issue facing Connecticut, and how do you plan to address it?

Fairness in governing and ensuring that everyone, no matter how they present or what their needs are, has a forum to have their voices heard. I will continue to provide a forum to allow individuals to be heard and continue to adjudicate matters within the statutory framework required.

Energy costs have been soaring in Connecticut. What are your plans to help address this issue?

Energy issues are not within the scope of issues addressed by the Probate Court.

Affordability has been a major topic across the country and here in Connecticut. How do you plan to address this issue?

Affordability is not within the scope of authority of the Probate Court. Probate Court's still provide free name changes and waive fees for litigants who qualify as indigent.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

I have been Judge of Probate for the District of Middletown since May, 2025.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

I truly enjoy serving the community that I represent and would be honored to continue to serve as your Judge of Probate.
