We need real leadership to make state-owned roads safer and improve transportation. That's why I just announced a safety and transit policy platform at my Safety and Transit Policy Walk! Here’s the link to the New Haven Independent article on the event: www.newhavenindependent.org/2026/07/21/s...

Every day, I talk to neighbors who are being priced out of our state by the rising cost of living. We need to take on this crisis with urgency, creativity, and political courage. Read my new op-ed about how I will fight to make CT more affordable. ctmirror.org/2026/07/20/w...

Summer rain might be my favorite doorknocking weather so far! Great conversations today on Barnett, Vista Terrace, and Edgewood Way.

ICE is terrorizing our immigrant neighbors. State and local governments must act as a shield against the Trump administration's cruelty. Yesterday I joined neighbors downtown to protest the murders of Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Thanks ULA for organizing!

I had so much fun reading at LEAP’s annual read-in on the Green! The kids were so engaged and had tons of ideas for their own inventions inspired by the book we read. I can’t wait to be back next year, and to keep working year-round to make sure our schools and students have the support they need!

Yale needs to fight, not fold. This past week, I worked with Yale students and alumni, New Haveners, and Connecticut leaders to organize a roundtable discussion and press conference to protest Yale’s potential deal with the Trump administration.

Happy 4th of July! Thinking today of my family, who fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe to come here, a place where they could seek opportunity and practice their faith without fear. Here’s to another 250 years of struggle to ensure we live up to that promise for all the generations to come.

It’s never too hot to knock on doors! Thank you to everyone for the glasses of water and great conversations!

I loved visiting with the residents of Chapel Haven yesterday for a "Meet the Candidates" event! It was great to talk with some of our most engaged neighbors about their concerns, especially around street safety and traffic calming in Westville.

It was great to be in the community this weekend at Bethel AME Church and at the Civilian Review Board's event in Edgewood Park!

Thank you, New Haven, for six years working the best job I’ve ever had. Yesterday, I announced that I will not be taking office for the new Board of Alders term. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to move, as I look toward graduating from law school in the spring. 1/
