Get StartedAs a former police officer, Steve recognizes that the Police Accountability Bill, passed in 2020, has had a significant impact on crime in Connecticut. Law enforcement officers are not nearly as proactive as they were prior to the passage of this flawed bill. Criminals, knowing that the penalties are light, are emboldened to commit crime, making Connecticut communities less safe than they were before the passage of this Democrat sponsored bill. Our courts are a revolving door for offenders at the expense of law abiding citizens. Learn more

Following a long period of declining job opportunities, the COVID-19 health crisis has caused a rapid spike in unemployment that will devastate Connecticut’s economy if left unchecked. The politicians in Hartford will be faced with the difficult task of getting Connecticut back on its feet, however, the legislators in power should not be the same ones who have already failed us. As a small business owner, Steve can personally relate to the struggles confronting employers and employees alike. His professional experiences endow him with the understanding to make fiscally responsible policy decisions to get Connecticut back to work, and even better than before. Learn more
Year after year, the hardworking people of Connecticut have been shortchanged by the bad budgets coming out of Hartford. With state spending increasingly left unchecked, the residents of the 55th District continue to be crippled by rising taxes with meager returns to justify them. This irresponsible budgeting has damaged Connecticut’s economy immensely. It is enabled by the unresponsive politicians who surreptitiously pass them without considering the impact on their constituents, causing declining trust in leadership. Learn more
This education should be free of consideration of race, color of skin, and should focus on improving the deliverables from parents, teachers, administrators and students. Steve will fight against the forced regionalization of schools and/or town services. The towns/cities have and will continue to pursue regional cost savings measures on their own accord. In addition, Steve will fight against the proposal to divert the teachers pension payments down to the municipalities. Learn more

Steve believes that all children should receive a quality education regardless of where they live. As the son of a school teacher, Steve believes teachers deserve support in delivering this education. Our school systems in the 55th district vary in scope, size and structure. Steve will advocate for policies that enable these schools and towns to deliver the services required, at a cost taxpayers can afford. This will require more adaptive cooperation between the local and state government. Steve believes that the money should follow the child, and our education system’s standards should rise to meet the performance expectations for our children. Learn more
