The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

Milford is thriving thanks to the incredible leadership of Mayor Ben Blake and I fully intend to support his efforts to make Milford the best place to live in Connecticut.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I am a lifelong Milford resident and owner of a 4th generation business here. My family has called Milford home since our immigration from Italy 100 years ago. I have worked directly with generations of Milford residents for over 15 years. This background has given me a truly unique perspective on what makes Milford unique and, more importantly, and what matters to the people who call this city home.

Accomplishments:

-My business is consistently ranked among the best retail shops in CT and both in terms of service and employee satisfaction. -Organizer and co-founder of charity race to benefit mental health and addiction treatment. -Proud supporter of Paid Family Leave Initiative -My shop has donated hundreds of pairs of shoes to people in need; at home and abroad.

Other issues:

-Fair and honest representation for EVERY district resident -Decisions based on facts and moral objectivism. -Equal access to enrichment programs and opportunities
