Erika Higgins, running for Board of Selectmen in Orange, Connecticut joins University of Connecticut Women's Basketball legend, current Western Connecticut State University Head Coach Maria Conlon and me.
Erika is fierce, loyal and passionate, she is not one to complain when there are problems. Erika will take action, which is why she is running for this position. She wants to make changes, an impact because enough is enough in Orange. Erika is brilliant, has a wonderful family, and especially a loving mother. She sees the challenges happening in her town every day and talks about why she made a decision to run. Sure, I am biased since she has been a close, dear friend for over 20 years, but I know her exceptional character, willingness to do anything for the people she cares about, and that she is a great person.
Erika and Maria discuss several issues going on in Orange. Erika highlights some of the major problems that have occurred, which could have been preventable if the right people were in place.
We talk women's sports after. Maria and Erika review the huge WNBA matchup of Dallas vs Indiana. It was moved to a larger arena because of the massive audience wanting to see the first match up between Caitlin Clark and Paige Buekers at the professional level. Paige played great but unfortunately Indiana smoked them. Caitlin played well just recently coming off an injury. Paige simply does not have enough help around her. We discussed the first half of the WNBA season and expectations for how the rest of the year will play out.
