Full State Educational funding, free tuition for two year colleges, free tuition for Connecticut born students, Universal Pre-K, Eliminate small business identity tax, eliminate car tax, continued support for minimum wage increases, rental assistance and tax credits for veterans and Seniors, and wage equity for women.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Too many business men/women and lawyers in office, we need to balance this out with people that have social work and Human Services background. Children ignored far too long, war on poverty forgotten.
