Dad, veteran, former Hartford Mayor, running for Congress in CT-01.
Hartford, CT
Joined November 2015
I’m running for Congress because our country is in crisis, our party’s in crisis, and we have to start doing things differently. We need to throw everything we’ve got at stopping Donald Trump and his corrupt agenda, and I’ll fight like hell every day to do that. We need Members

The newest nonsensical part of the Trump agenda - ending programs where you can renew your passport at your library. This is just stupid. Renewing your passport at the library has been easy and helps raise money for our local libraries.

The most important thing about the Marjorie Taylor Greene — Trump breakup isn’t even about the Epstein files. It’s that it shows that that even Trump’s most loyal allies know that Trump isn’t focused on what the American people need. That he’s spending more energy fighting the

It’s time for Chuck Schumer to go. What happened last night isn’t just frustrating, it’s insulting. And it’s insulting because it was so clearly choreographed by senate leadership. The idea that Dick Durbin, the #2 Democrat in the Senate, would vote for the “deal” if Schumer

This so-called deal to end the shutdown is an example of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This week, Trump made clear that he was feeling the pressure after Democratic victories at the polls. And this is moment… when we have real leverage to get something that really

My train to Hartford was stuck for 45 minutes while they changed to a diesel engine. In 2025, we deserve better than 19th century rail infrastructure. Every other developed nation does it - we can too, and we need to use it to connect metro areas across the northeast.

The No King’s rallies were the rehearsal, and yesterday was the real deal. So much respect and gratitude for everybody who put themselves out there and said you are not going to dismantle our democracy or our faith in our democracy, and we are going to start the work of

Today we got more proof that our economy isn’t working for most people. A few huge corporations, including Amazon, announced tens of thousands of job cuts… and their stock prices kept going up. Because artificial intelligence and automation are already having a massive impact.

Democrats shouldn’t be afraid of competition anymore. We should be a party that embraces change, fresh leadership, and new voices. And we need to know when it's time to pass the torch. https://t.co/rrNXpjg9t8

Wall Street guy is right. We need to elect new people if we want a fairer tax code where people like him don't pay a lower tax rate than you do. That's one of the reasons I’m running for Congress.

A senior DOJ official said that the Trump Admin pressured him to lie about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's affiliation with MS-13 so they could disappear him to a prison in El Salvador. That's what dictators (kings) do, and if you think it stops here, you haven't read enough history.

In the NY Times this week. Democrats in our district and across the country know it's time for change. We can't keep doing the same things and expect to win back the voters we lost.

Here's Jen Psaki and Lis Smith on The Blueprint, talking about what’s at stake in this race and the momentum we've already built. The Democratic Party is at a crossroads, and it's time to pass the torch to a new generation.

Kristi Noem is using TSA lines in our public airports to gaslight Americans into blaming Democrats for the shutdown. This, coming from the party that fired TSA and FAA employees and is threatening to fire even more federal workers during the shutdown.

We’re building a campaign that has what it takes to get our message out, win a competitive race, and make change. But we’re doing it the right way. I’ve said from the start that I’m not taking a dollar of corporate PAC money — now or in the future. Because there’s a big different

On this day, two years since Hamas' horrific October 7th terrorist attack, my heart is filled with grief for all those whose lives were shattered that day, for the hostages who remain in captivity, and for the the immeasurable suffering that has followed since that day. It is up

The images out of Chicago right now are chilling. This is not Trump responding to chaos, it’s Trump creating chaos. This is not Trump responding to a war zone it’s Trump creating something that looks like a war zone to justify further escalation. To those who’ve supported Trump:
