Why are you seeking this office?

I'm running to advocate for our children's education and major affordability issues.

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

Affordability.

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

There is no quick fix. As one person I cannot fix the system. With cooperating elected officials we can develop a major initiative to put our power lines underground.

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

First, eliminate the personal property tax! Next balance the education budget so property taxes are not the easy way out for lawmakers.

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

I close complex large losses every day between insurance companies and their insureds. We have a time limit and if the claim does not close I do not get paid.

I will accomplish most of my goals within my first two years. If I don't I will not run again!
