Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District.  Connecticut deserves common-sense leadership—and I’m ready to deliver it. I’ve always answered the call to serve. That duty doesn’t stop now. I’m ready to represent the great people of Connecticut in Congress. 🇺🇸 #ServiceNeverStops #CT05

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the Little Poland Festival in New Britain on Sunday! And of course, excited to have some homemade pierogi’s just like my great-grandmother used to make.

Jahana Hayes voted against working-class tax cuts for Connecticut. I’ve worked in the Pentagon and I’ve built organizations like Hero to Hero from the ground up, I know how to get things done. When I’m in Congress, I’ll work to cut taxes and fight to lower electric costs so working families can afford to live in the state they love.

Excited to be running the Litchfield Hill Road Race this Sunday! Looking forward to celebrating the culture of Litchfield and joining so many patriots on a course that winds through some of the most scenic sites in all of New England. And a special thank you to Lucy for helping me get ready for race day!

I’m running for a simple reason. We need a representative who will put CT and America First. From lowering energy costs to protecting local industries, I’ll always fight to put working families ahead of the corrupt special interests in DC who’ve bought off Jahana Hayes.

Jahana Hayes has one of the most left-wing records in Congress. Working families in Connecticut deserve someone who will fight for them, not the elites in Washington. If you send me to Congress, I will fight every day to cut taxes, waste, and red tape, to put more money back into your pocket instead of DC bureaucrats.

My opponent has one of the most far-left voting records of any Democrat in Congress. And she has even been endorsed by the anti-police, left-wing Working Families Party. When I’m in Congress, I’ll always back the blue and fight to restore public safety in every community in our district.

Today, we remember and honor the heroes and the sacrifice they made storming the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. 82 years later, we remain the land of the free because of the brave.

Decades of one-party, Democrat rule in Hartford have led to some of the highest energy costs and taxes in the country. Melissa will fight to deliver a more affordable state for working families and restore common sense in Hartford. If you live in Danbury, New Fairfield, or Ridgefield, please join me in supporting Melissa so we can break the supermajority in Hartford and make our state affordable for working families.

Connecticut is overdue for a leader who doesn't just talk about defending our rights but has fought for them. As a veteran, I know the importance of the Second Amendment, and in Congress I'll never stop fighting to protect it.

Had the good luck of not getting rained out and the privilege of marching in the Watertown and Wolcott Memorial Day parades with Joe Poletta, Eric Berthel, Rob Sampson, Gayle Mastrofrancesco this weekend. It is always good to see folks out in remembrance of our fallen.
