Summary

In November 2019, Treneé won a seat as Councilwoman of the 7th District of West Haven City Council, becoming the youngest person to hold this position. She currently serves as a State Representative elected to represent the 116th District in West Haven, CT. She is a member of the Education Committee, Environment Committee, and Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. Treneé is also an advocate for life--all of life--and is an outspoken activist for the life of the unborn. And, as you'll hear in this podcast conversation, she believes that the abortion industry is systemically racist.
