Issues
Here you can find Nick’s stance on many of the most important issues facing Connecticut voters.
Lowering Our Taxes and Cost of Living
The people of Greenwich, Stamford, and New Canaan work hard, and this should lead to a more prosperous future. That’s why Nick is committed to lowering our taxes, lowering the overall cost of living including electric bills, growing the economy, and maintaining fiscal responsibility in Hartford – by passing balanced budgets and adhering to the fiscal guardrails that have helped restore fiscal stability.
Supporting Reproductive Freedom and Gun Control
Sick of the political extremes, Nick is the first Democrat to be endorsed by the Independent Party, because he has a track record of practical problem solving. He will push back against extreme measures to scale back common sense gun safety laws, and women’s reproductive rights.
Securing More Funding for Our District
Nick will secure more funds from Hartford to fix traffic on I-95 and the Merritt, speed up Metro North, rebuild our crumbling schools, and protect our coastline from flooding.
Local Control Over Zoning and Housing
Nick believes that communities should have the autonomy to make their own housing decisions through local zoning. He will be a champion in the State Senate to protect local control for our towns.
Investing in Education and Our Workforce
As a former teacher and principal, Nick understands the critical role well-resourced schools and teachers play in the success of our community. He believes in investing in education, and supporting our community members after they enter the workforce.
Protecting Our Coastlines from Flooding
Climate change presents a significant threat to our towns. But shoring up our defenses against climate change won’t be enough. We need to actively reduce carbon emissions via smart energy solutions that can grow our economy and lower costs for consumers. Nick understands Connecticut’s potential to be a leader in the global shift toward a clean energy economy.
Keeping Our Community Safe
To keep our communities strong, we need to keep them safe. And we can only do that by supporting our police and our firefighters.
