"The state legislature has done a great job looking out for the needs of the bureaucracy and special interest groups. What about the rest of us?" -Layne

​

I walk all over Stamford, and I walk the 144th district every day. I see the beauty of Stamford and I see the growth of Stamford.

​

I also see the growing unease in Stamford. Traffic bottlenecks are popping up all over Stamford and especially in the 144th district. High Ridge at Bulls Head is only going to get worse once Pepe’s Pizza opens.

​

I listen to the pulse of Stamford. Frankly I think Stamford should be called “Stamford town of horns and sirens” That is the constant I hear every day.

​

Every time I walk downtown, I see the backups on I-95.

​

As I have walked Stamford, I keep on getting the feeling that Stamford and Connecticut are not being run well.

​

Talking to people I hear the same refrain people are giving up on politics.

Well, I am not giving up on politics. We can do better. I want to be part of the solution about making Connecticut a better place to live and work.
