Other facts

My candidacy is endorsed by AARP and SEIU (Service Employees International Union.)

I am a retired educator with 50 years work experience; 25 of those years as a civil servant for the State of Connecticut in various state agencies as a training program specialist supervising workforce development ; handling policies, procedures, regulations and budget analysis for upper management. I had to know the Connecticut General Statutes and work with legislators all those years. It is my hope as a representative to secure our share of state funding for our  public schools; protect our environment and preserve open space; and keep our seniors independent in our community.
