DUMMERSTON — Congratulations to Democrats Mike Mrowicki and Nader Hashim on winning the Windham-4 Democratic primary for the House of Representatives. I thank them both for joining me in a positive and respectful campaign.
To the many community members who volunteered their time, made donations, and supported my run, thank you for your belief in democracy and in me. Special thanks to Jesse Jerome-Wrenn and Ed Burke.
There is much work to do. We need a Democratic governor and/or a veto-proof majority in the House. Then we must enact a living wage, universal health care, and paid family leave. We must make real progress on gun-safety laws that address suicide, respond to climate change aggressively, and invest in a green economy.
Mike and Nader can't do it alone. I encourage all citizens to stay engaged and be clear, with both the legislative and executive branches, what we want our government to accomplish. Our future depends on it.
