He is fiscally responsible and has supported our businesses, while rejecting the shift in teacher pensions to local municipalities. He supports science-based decision-making that has led our state to be a leader in keeping our COVID-19 infection rate low.
He has improved public safety with gun laws, and helped state residents by supporting Absentee Ballots for all Connecticut residents this year. He has worked to hold Eversource accountable with oversight.
Matt’s most important characteristic is his responsiveness to his constituents. He loves to meet and to hear from local residents. He is transparent, fair and balanced.
Please re-elect Matt Blumenthal for state representative on Nov. 3.
