Thank you so much for your support, Dan!! I am so thrilled to hear that I have earned your trust, and I will work like heck to earn the trust of residents all across Newtown. Lots of work ahead but I'm looking forward to every minute of it!

I take my responsibility very seriously as a candidate to be as open, available, and transparent as possible. It is fundamental to our democracy for voters to be able to hear directly from those seeking their support. I'm really looking forward to every future opportunity to speak to you, Kathy, as well as all Newtown voters! Thank you for such a thoughtful letter!

(2) Midnight Cutoffs: During a March 2026 Public Health Committee hearing on vaccine mandates, Democratic leaders voted to end the hearing at approximately 12:15 a.m., which resulted in hundreds of residents who waited all day to speak losing their opportunity to testify in person.
(3) Limiting Testimony: Democrat-led committees, such as the Education and Public Health committees, imposed time limits or capped public testimony on highly contentious bills related to vaccines, parental rights, and homeschooling.
