It is an honor and a pleasure to be
your First
District Congressman. With your encouragement and
support, in January of 2005 I was selected to serve on
the House Ways and Means committee and in 2006 I was
elected Vice-Chair of the Democratic Caucus. The
position assists the Chairman in organizing and
running the Caucus and is one of five senior party
leaders in the House of Representatives that develop
the Democratic agenda.
In 2006 people from all over Connecticut and America
changed the direction of the country when they elected
a new Democratic Majority to Congress. As the 5th
ranking Democrat in the new Majority, I have worked
closely with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the entire
Democratic Caucus to fight for healthcare, jobs, and
an end to the war in Iraq.
In March of 2007, I was appointed to
the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global
Warming where I have worked with environmentalists
and policy makers from all over the world to address
issues related to energy independence and global
climate change.
It is my hope that this website will provide
information regarding my positions on various issues,
resources available to residents of the First
Congressional District and updates on my campaign
activities.
