Why Choose Us
Voter Engagement
We believe empowering the next generation starts with giving them a voice. Recently, we partnered with Bloomfield’s Parkside Pizza to support a local business. One focus of the evening was a voter registration initiative.
We connected with young voters, shared the importance of civic engagement, and provided resources on how to register and vote by mail. We also helped the young to understand the political process. Our goal is to make voting more accessible and to inspire young people to see their role in shaping the future of our community.
Community Activity
Our team has been actively involved in building a better community for years. From helping in city-wide cleanups and back-to-school giveaways to supporting youth sports and homeschool associations, we’ve worked to uplift families and create opportunities for young people. We’ve taken part in crime watch initiatives, attended walk to school with a cop events and partnered with neighbors to make our town safer and more connected. This hands-on involvement reflects our belief that supported schools are built on healthy communities—and we are committed to continuing that work as your representatives.
Diversity of Candidates
We come from three different backgrounds, neighborhoods, and generations, but we share one vision: a brighter future for our students.
