             Unaffiliated and Undecided Voters Can Lead Positive Change

                   Supporting positive progress is in everyone’s interests

​

Change is a natural and beneficial element of our nation’s culture, society and government. Progress is often synonymous with change because it recognizes the organic result of evaluating the past and determining a better way forward.

The race for State Senator for the 29th is a critical opportunity to embrace change and empower progress. Changing your vote from a party you have always supported or splitting your ballot between your vote for the President and your vote for your state representatives is a reasonable and thoughtful approach when the facts suggest a change is needed.

​

Unfortunately, the state we love needs to show us more respect. Respect means actually listening to the people our elected officials are supposed to represent. It means making progress on improving the onerous and worsening taxes and costs of living here and reducing the erosion of local control. It also means keeping partisan political agendas out of our schools, libraries and bathrooms.

​

The Pomfret Democrats have a sign with the headline, “Stay Calm”. I agree. Stay calm and tune out the divisive political name calling. Instead, weigh the merits of restoring the balance of leadership in Hartford. Your vote for change will send the message that we expect our elected officials to work together for our common good.

​

Please consider your vote for Chris Reddy, a vote for positive progress.

​

Respectfully,

​
