My decision to run for Congress was solidified on August 26, 2021… the day 13 U.S. service members lost their lives during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. We should never have let politics get in the way of the safety of our nation and our military.
Sadly, this rushed departure means that thousands of Afghans who risked their lives to protect our troops are in danger. We must do all we can to help get them and their families out of Afghanistan and to safety.
As our pledge reminds us, we are “One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All”. Now, more than ever, these words serve both as a reminder of the greatness of the United States of America and as a call to action to stand together as the beacon of freedom our world needs now more than ever!
These are among the many reasons why I have chosen to run for U.S.Congress - to be in service to Connecticut’s Fourth District and for a brighter future. In the important words of Former Navy SEAL, Senior Chief James Hatch, “if we truly wish to honor our Veterans, we must live life full and take care of one another and our great country.”
I hope I have earned your trust and support.
God Bless America and our Veterans!
