Progressive Democrat, feminist, big supporter of Title IX
Currently am serving a 3rd term as Chair of my town's Democratic Committee and am on my 6th year as Chair of my town's Historic District Commission.
Joined my town's Democratic Committee in 2003.
In 2006, was part of a grassroots Progressive network that helped Ned Lamont overcome a 59 point deficit to defeat then Sen. Joe Lieberman by 4 points in the Democratic Primary. Served on board of CT NOW that year and helped it persuade national NOW to endorse Lamont over Lieberman. NOW was only national feminist group that endorsed Ned Lamont in 2006.
Since 1994, have had published many letters-to-the-editor, mostly on political and feminist issues, in Connecticut newspapers(The Hartford Courant, The New London Day, The Norwich Bulletin, The Villager), the South Bend Tribune and a couple in the USA Today. Have also had a few op eds published. One was published in 2001 in the South Bend Tribune praising ND Women's Basketball Team winning the National Championship and seeing how that feat and the people involved chalked up another victory for Title IX.
