On Nov. 8, I received the great honor of being elected to represent the 33rd Senate District for a third term in the State Senate. For four years, I have worked tirelessly to advocate for our communities. I know firsthand the significance, gravity, and responsibility this position represents.

I would like to thank the entire district for its support. Our 12 towns each have different needs and different priorities. It is a welcome challenge to hold this seat for another two years, and I pledge to continue working on issues I find most important as well as issues that benefit our towns. In the last several years, my colleagues and I have worked to bring millions in state support to our towns. I was proud to lead efforts to hold Eversource accountable for its poor response to Tropical Storm Isaias and will continue to work to ensure it lives up to the level of service we deserve, not the level of service it’s currently providing. We need to fight back against inflation and high gas prices where we can and will continue supporting important local programs that benefit thousands of us.
