  1. Congratulations sir. See, this is what you call dignity. A black woman congratulating a latino man for his work, not tearing him down. Maybe the judge and others can learn something from this example. Keep up the good work! We need good people in leadership, including the black preacher in politics.

    1. Someone who displays dignity does not need to call attention to it. If you are displaying dignity others will simply recognize it.

      It’s like a lady telling others how classy you are. If you are “classy” others will see it without you calling attention to it.

      I can assure you that there is nothing you can teach Judge Looez when it comes to displaying dignity.

  2. Congratulations My Brother Chris , I remember when you worked on my First campaign for State Representative 124th District. I have watched you grow in politics in Bridgeport and as a Past Deputy Speaker of the house of Representatives under Moria Lyons former Speaker of the house of Representatives. You will have great say on moving Connecticut forward and be a strong Voice for Bridgeport in the coming session.
