When housing costs rise faster than wages, when essential services feel out of reach, and when government stops listening, entire communities feel the impact. Over the past four decades, Stamford has transformed from a modest corporate center into a vibrant, diverse urban hub, home to retirees, growing families, young professionals, and longtime residents building their futures here. But continued progress demands thoughtful leadership that understands these challenges and is ready to act. That means protecting people who live and work here from being priced out, making city services easier to navigate, and restoring trust through clear communication and follow-through. A thriving Stamford puts people first,  with policies rooted in collaboration, efficiency, and real results.
