Proud to fight for affordable electric rates

AARP recently presented me with their 2013 Legislative Achievement Award for my work to preserve consumer protections for utility customers and my opposition to a proposed tax on home heating oil (the proposal died in committee). I received the award from AARP Connecticut Associate State Director John Erlinghauser and Lead Advocacy Volunteer Bob Rodman at a special ceremony recently in the State Capitol complex in Hartford.

 I am very honored to receive this prestigious award.  Fighting for affordable utility rates is something that impacts us all and is especially important to seniors and families.
