Thank you for allowing me the honor of representing you in the State Senate. I am running for re-election this November and am again asking for your help.

During this global economic crisis, have worked with Republicans and Democrats to balance our budget and protect our children, seniors and working families. Connecticut's problems require putting partisan politics aside to create jobs, rebuild our economy and strengthen public education. We passed a strong bipartisan jobs bill in October and expanded on it this session. This legislation has already put people back to work and encouraged businesses to invest in our State. I have obviously worked on other significant issues as you will see, but nothing as important to the people of Connecticut as stimulating investment and lowering unemployment. This will be my primary focus until this recession is definitively over.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you have, and thank you for your continued support.
