Fun Fact
Ansonia needs fresh young leadership that can reignite the economic engine that once was Ansonia.
Past Experience
{"skills":"I have brought over 50 jobs to Ansonia and am slated to bring over a thousand more over the next year.","achievements":"Helped secure 150 million dollars in steel recycling facilities to the city.","responsibility":"I have acted as an independent watchdog and know where the city is fiscally insolvent."}
My Top Issues
Attracting and retaining businesses
Ansonia needs to cut red tape and make it easier for businesses to open, expand, and hire locally. I’ll streamline permitting, fix broken zoning policies, and actively recruit investment to revitalize our tax base and downtown.
Enhancing transparency and accountability
The city is subject to a mandatory state oversight board due to being on the distressed municipality list. City finances are not transparent.
Invest in infrastructure, create jobs
Bring in new economic opportunities for residents and the surrounding areas.
