Thank you Alice Hutchinson for hosting a meet and greet with both the candidates running to represent Bethel in the state senate. In the last redistricting, Bethel was split between the 28th district where Rob for CT is running against the Republican incumbent and the 32nd where Desmarais for CT is running in a district that has been held by Republicans for over 130 years. Both candidates spoke on their views on family paid leave, affordable housing and balancing it with local zoning decisions, and common sense gun policies. Thank you both for your commitment to Bethel and keeping our needs in mind as you work to represent us in Hartford.
What an opening! Thank you to all who came out to open the Bethel Democratic Headquarters tonight. We were joined by all the candidates running to represent our residents in Hartford. Raghib for State Representative, Desmarais for CT, Rob for CT and Aaron Zimmer for State Representative. Come on down to 126 Greenwood Ave for all your signs, to volunteer for campaigns, and to connect with your neighbors. Saturdays we will be coordinating volunteers from 10-3 each weekend.
