Statement from the Bethel Democrats
Recently Connecticut State Republican Chair Ben Proto, in an outrageous Facebook post, made a deliberate attempt to steer our local Bethel campaign away from the relevant, critical issues affecting our town, Bethel. Personal issues of current or former members, however presented and distorted, have no bearing on our commitment to our community.
Bethel Democrats remain focused on the work that matters most: serving the people of Bethel. Our priorities are to fix what’s in front of us, and we will not be distracted by attempts to divide or deflect from that mission.
Our platform includes:
- Responsible town development and strategic planning that balances the needs of our residents with the resources of the town.
- Responsible budgeting that meets the needs of the town and taxpayers.
- Supporting our schools, educators, and students.
- Maintaining our roads, infrastructure, and town services.
- Supporting our first responders.
Bethel deserves leaders who stay focused on the community and tackle important issues, not those who engage in personal attacks. The Bethel Democrats have those leaders.
