Meet Aimee

A neighbor.
A proven advocate.

Aimee Berger-Girvalo has called Ridgefield home for more than twenty years. A graduate of UMass Amherst, she's built her career in service as a business manager, an educator, and a fierce advocate for families in our community.

Before serving in the legislature, Aimee worked as a preschool teacher, a public school special education paraeducator, and a behavior therapist specializing in autism spectrum services. That experience helping real families navigate real challenges is the foundation of everything she does in Hartford.

As Connecticut heads into a pivotal 2026 election cycle, one that includes a CT governor race and consequential contests across the state, Aimee's record in local government stands out. Widely recognized as a CT political rising star, she has built the kind of track record in Hartford that matters: a lawmaker who delivers real results for her local community while helping shape CT politics at the state level.

$5 Million for Ridgefield

In Her Own Words

Ask Aimee.

Why is being an elected official in Ridgefield important to you?

This job is about trust. When a family can't get through a complicated system, they call me. When Ridgefield needs resources, I fight for them. People here are deeply invested in each other, and I carry that same commitment into Hartford every single day.

What drove you to run again?

The work isn't finished. The issues my neighbors face, healthcare, cost of living, support for seniors and families, don't resolve on their own. And experience matters. I've learned how to move things through a complicated process and build the coalitions that make it happen. I'm not running again out of habit. There's real work left to do.

What are you most proud of in your service to our community and Connecticut?

Being reachable. When someone calls my office with a problem, they get a real answer. Not a form letter. On the legislative side, I'm proud of the work expanding healthcare access and strengthening protections for vulnerable people. But the quieter moments matter just as much. Helping one constituent solve one problem. That's what this is actually about.

What are your goals for next term?

Affordability and access, starting with healthcare. Too many people still can't get the coverage or care they need, and I want to change that. I'm also focused on working families, cost-of-living relief, better transportation, stronger community services. And I want to make real progress for seniors and people with disabilities so they can live with dignity and independence. The foundation is there. Now we build.

What Matters to Ridgefield

In Her Words.

On Democracy July 2026

My 250 Cents

As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, this moment feels complicated. But speaking out in defense of democracy is not unpatriotic. It is one of the most patriotic acts there is.
