What Kieran Stands For
Education
Prioritize funding for public schools, especially resources for infrastructure improvements, increasing teacher salaries, and expanding resources for special needs students. Support initiatives for early childhood education and affordable higher education options, such as tuition assistance and student loan forgiveness programs.
Energy
Connecticut pays some of the highest electricity prices in the nation. Expanding and improving transmission infrastructure, building more renewable energy projects, and focusing on electrification in residential and commercial applications would dramatically reduce energy costs for rate-payers.
Environmental Protection
Commit to combating climate change and protecting Connecticut's natural resources. This includes investing in renewable energy sources, promoting energy efficiency measures, and implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions, along with supporting initiatives to preserve open spaces, protecting water quality, and addressing environmental justice issues.
Infrastructure
Invest in infrastructure projects to improve Connecticut's roads, bridges, public transportation, and broadband internet access. This could include funding for maintenance and repairs, as well as investments in new infrastructure projects to support economic growth and improve quality of life for residents.
