I am a life-long resident of Connecticut, and a 31 year resident of Farmington. I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, and I enjoyed a brief career as a teacher, followed by a much longer career as a stay-at-home father to my two daughters. I worked as a staff person for several years in the Connecticut General Assembly, and was elected to four terms on the Farmington Town Council. In 2012, I was elected to the first of my five terms in the General Assembly, where I currently serve on the Environment, Public Health, and Energy & Technology committees.
Representing the residents of Farmington and Unionville in the legislature is the honor of my life, and I take seriously the responsibility that this position entails. I strive to serve with integrity, compassion, and fairness, and I endeavor to listen to my constituents as much as possible.
I have served the financial interests of Farmington and Unionville quite well, securing up to $40 million in state reimbursement for the new Farmington High School projct. This is in addition to increasing our annual municipal aid from the state, our education aid, and our PILOT grant. Further, I have voted for annual state budgets that are balanced, preserve the social service safety net," produced a record "rainy day" surplus, and paid down significantly on our legacy debt (unfunded obligations).
- I have voted in favor of common sense legislation that improves people's quality of life in Connecticut, including a child tax credit, property tax credit, and a phase-out of the income tax on pensions and social security payments. I have voted to protect reproductive freedoms, promote gun safety, increase access to the electoral process, combat climate change, promote renewable energy, and promote public health and safety during and after the Covid crisis. I have voted to increase crime prevention and promote public safety, improve services for those with disabilities, address children's mental health needs, expand health insurance coverage, institute paid family and medical leave, prohibit age and gender discrimination in employment.
The erosion of trust in government institutions, and the erosion of trust in each other, are major problems for our democracy, and for our ability to work together for the common good. I believe it is important for office-holders to serve with honesty, integrity, and a spirit of co-operation with those who do not agree with our point of view. I have always held myself to that standard, and encourage others to do the same.
Environmental issues, public health issues, clean energy, renewable energy, higher education, affordable housing, tax fairness, reproductive rights, disability services, health insurance, voting access, gun safety.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I was 5 years old at the time. It was a traumatic event for the entire nation, and for my family, as my parents admired and respected JFK's energy and inspirational words.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
