Dear Voter,
I entered public service because I saw a missing vision in New Haven leadership for our families, neighborhoods, and future. Like you, I want safe streets, strong schools, and real opportunity for everyone who calls Elm City home.
When I drive through New Haven, I see incredible potential. Whalley Avenue, Ella Grasso Boulevard, and Grand Avenue. These are not just roads, but gateways and incubators for small businesses to grow and thrive. With bold leadership, places like Long Wharf and English Station can become engines for real jobs and economic revival. We can educate and empower our workforce, bringing prosperity back to our city.
This election isn’t about what divides us, but about coming together and building a unified New Haven. I have a practical, strategic plan to grow our tax base, support small businesses, and create opportunities for all. Together, we can make our city safer, lift our schools, and ensure that every family can build a better future here.
Let’s move forward united by our shared hopes and the belief that New Haven’s best days are yet to come. With your vote, I am committed to making this vision a reality.
Sincerely,

Read NowNew Haven deserves better. For decades, our elected officials have failed us, delivering high property taxes, mounting debt, struggling schools, rising poverty, unaffordable living, and some of the highest crime rates in Connecticut. No leader has truly taken on Yale, which owns 60% of the city and pays no taxes. Yet, the same party has held power since 1953. With only 12,000 out of 135,000 residents voting in the last mayoral election, it’s clear: people have lost faith in the system.
It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and restore real checks and balances. I believe we can make real change, ensuring our kids can read at grade level, supporting our small businesses, growing our tax base, and fighting to make sure Yale pays its fair share. Most importantly, we must make New Haven’s streets safe again so that every resident can feel secure in their neighborhood.
I’m tired of watching New Haven decline under one-party rule. I’ve built businesses, fought for the underserved, and stood up when it wasn’t easy. Now, I’m ready to fight for New Haven because this city deserves a leader who answers to the people, not the political machine.
