Get StartedSend me back to Hartford so I can continue to support our law enforcement officers and other proposals that prioritize public safety. Learn more
As a legislature, we must continue to try and improve the overall business climate in which our state is forcing them to operate in. We are currently ranked as the sixth highest in cost to do business in and 39th in the top states for business ranking according to a CNBC report. I will continue to focus on our overall affordability and reducing mandates so that we can continue to encourage entrepreneurs and small businesses to expand in towns and cities throughout Connecticut.

I have and will continue to support our educators, students, and their parents. It is critical that we all take an active role in supporting our youth in any way possible while also fostering an environment where parents and educators are equal parts of a child's education. Learn more
The purpose of these educational institutions should be to prepare our children for the types of jobs that Connecticut employers have available now. Unfortunately, many of our young people leave Connecticut to find employment, leaving businesses to outsource their employment opportunities by seeking people in from other states or even other countries. This is a clear indication that our education system has lost its way and purpose. Lets make this system, which taxpayers pay dearly for, work for our young people. Learn more
Over time, our legislators have lost their way. They have forgotten that Connecticut used to thrive economically for businesses and families because we had a streamlined and efficient state government, very low taxes, and a friendly regulatory environment. People and businesses would move here, thrive, and stay here. Learn more
Now, we are over-taxed and over-regulated. We worry more about state employee protections than about the tax and business climate that allows us to pay for those protections. We worry more about criminals catching COVID-19 in prison than about what their early release does to our neighborhoods. We worry more about the fees, licenses and regulations we can impose on a business, instead of thinking about that business thriving. In short, we have to reverse the thinking in Hartford that has forced so many of our neighbors and businesses to flee the once ideal state of Connecticut. Learn more
Donna will continue to focus her efforts in the legislature on the basic principles we need restored to support Connecticut's turnaround. We do not need tax increases of any type, including any type of tolls. No emergency taxes either. We do need outside critical evaluations of every service the state provides to make sure it is done in the most cost-effective and prudent manner. We need to address our spending of all types in a critical manner before asking taxpayers for an additional penny. We need to review every unfunded mandate the state has imposed on our towns, then requiring the town to pay for them. Including things the residents did not vote for. This is just plain wrong. We need to review all fees and licensing to ensure that they provide more than just revenue to the state; we need to ensure they are not needlessly stifling small business. And how about we punish criminal for committing crimes, not law-abiding gun owners. Learn more
