🎓 The Class of 2026 Car Parade was so exciting to watch! The students did an amazing job. I have no doubt that Nonno’s smile lit up heaven tonight when he saw Nick driving his prized “little jiggler!” Next stop - graduation!! 🎓

Friends,
The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of a ride in Republican circles. I have witnessed incredible momentum, excitement, big highs, super lows, the worst in people, and the best of intentions.

It would be remiss of me not to thank Erin Stewart for her years in office and acknowledge her decision to place accountability above all else.

It takes a mountain of strength and courage to step forward not only as a woman, but especially as a Republican woman, to lead in any capacity in CT. Yet she did so with transformative results. That credit is due & owing.

When I first told my husband I wanted to run for mayor, he said: “you better have a thick skin if you want to get into politics.” Truth be told, even though this wasn’t my race, I still feel a bit bruised from what I have seen and heard from both sides of the aisle. But here we are, a day before convention. For those who still have an appetite for politics, it is time to rethink, reimagine & regroup.
