March 18 marked a monumental day, not only for the Sacred Heart committee, but for the citizens and families through out Fairfield.
Christopher Patrick DeSanctis, a Political Science Professor here at Sacred Heart for the past four years, announced his candidacy for Connecticut State Representative in district 132 last Saturday. The announcement was held at the Fairfield Senior Center in front of nearly one hundred supports, made up of family, friends, students, and citizens of Fairfield who are eager for change.
"Taxes are too high on families with children, seniors, and businesses," said DeSanctis, the thirty-six year old Trumbull native. "I am running for your Representation in Hartford because I am passionate about reforming a faulty system and establishing common sense public policies again."
Even though this is DeSanctis's first time running for public office at any level, his participation, contributions and experiences with high profile campaigns and in competitive collegiate atmospheres, have equipmed the Republican candidate with a well rounded knowledge of the political area.
After graduating from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz. in 1993, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, DeSanctis began his political career by working on the campaign staff of Arizona State Senator ,Scott Bundgaard, in 1994.
After the successful and well organized campaign, DeSanctis enrolled in Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va. where he was able to acquire his Masters of Arts in Political Science degree in 1999, while working as the Graduate Assistant for Dean Kay Coles James.
DeSanctis's next step would land him as the Policy and Communication Aide to the office of Mayor in Jersey City, N.J. While acting as Policy and Communication Aide, DeSanctis was able to direct strategies and events for property tax reform, tollbooths, and education reform in Jersey City, N.J. from 1999 to 2001, under Mayor Bret Schundler.
