Join us on the path to a better Connecticut

For the past fourteen years, I have had the great honor of serving as the mayor of Stamford. My philosophy of leadership has remained consistent: listen to my constituents, hear their concerns, then make the smart, tough decisions that are intended to make life better for the people I represent. Whether knocking on doors together for local charities, debating in public forums, or sharing stories of our common pasts, I have always been honest and open with my constituents -- and I hope you'll be honest and open with me.

That's why I've created a questionnaire where you can share your ideas of how you think we can make our state a better place, starting today. Every day, more and more people believe it's time for new leadership in the Governor's Mansion, leadership that puts the interests of hardworking families before partisanship.

Thank you for taking a moment to voice your concerns and to help create a better Connecticut.
