The sudden passing of Fairfield’s First Selectman has left our town with a profound sense of loss and an urgent responsibility: choosing a leader who can guide, heal, and unite our community.
I am announcing my candidacy for First Selectman in the upcoming special election.
As a resident and someone who stood for election to represent Fairfield, I believe every one of us deserves a voice and a choice in selecting our next leader. Fairfield has been my home and my inspiration for over 25 years. I believe deeply in our town’s strength, resilience, and shared future.
For over two decades, I have been honored to serve our community as a PTA representative, a member of the Representative Town Meeting, a State Representative, and now as your State Senator. In each of these roles, I have fought for strong schools, public safety, fiscal responsibility, reliable transportation, environmental protection, and a high quality of life for all residents. My guiding principle has always been simple: people before politics, and results before rhetoric.
As your State Senator, I have worked across party lines, built bipartisan coalitions, and partnered with community leaders, nonprofits, small businesses, educators, and first responders. I have always demanded accountability and transparency, and I have delivered real results by listening, engaging, and working side by side with my neighbors.
As First Selectman, I will bring that same commitment home. I will work to ensure our local government is accessible, responsive, and focused on solutions. I will do everything I can to unite our community, strengthen our connections, and make certain every resident feels heard, valued, and respected.
This is our moment to come together, heal divisions, and move forward with integrity, efficiency, and compassion. I am ready to lead Fairfield into its next chapter, with energy, experience, and an unwavering belief in service above self.
I ask for your support in this special election and your partnership in building a better, stronger Fairfield for all.
