The single most pressing issue facing our town/district is _______, and
this is what I intend to do about it.

Taxes and accountability. If re-elected, I will continue to bring the
principles of integrity, accountability and transparency to my position. I
will ensure that my positions and votes reflect the residents of my
district.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates
seeking this post?

Although a Democrat, I am very independent minded and do my own research
when forming my positions to voting on anything affecting our District and
Trumbull.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder
failed the community (or district or constituency)?

My family has a deep commitment to volunteering and giving back to the
community, so you can depend on me to put in the work to understand issues
and reach out to all parties when trying to resolve issues for our District.

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