Michael is a Leader and will take those leadership skills to Congress.
Solving our country’s problems requires common sense and an informed Congress. As a physician, Michael will fight to shrink government, reduce healthcare costs and administrative burdens, protect our freedoms (individual, medical, parental), stand up to antisemitism and the woke agenda and always put America First. He believes that with the right leadership Connecticut can recover from its decade long downturn. This requires a change in leadership and political philosophy to reform many industries.
Michael is also an attorney and will use those skills in D.C. to stand up against bad legislation, especially healthcare legislation. Government over regulation of healthcare is a significant factor in the high cost of healthcare in the United States. Lowering the cost of healthcare will reduce the economic burden on individuals, businesses and will make it easier to expand coverage without the disastrous consequences of the Medicare for all proposals of the leading Democrats.
