Here’s the full text of Marra’s announcement:
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve as your state representative. My first term has been a total immersion. Even with the steep learning curve that is required, I have made it my mission to get your voices to Hartford. And now I am so excited to announce — I’m running for re-election!
Along with my Campaign Manager, Adrienne Kelly, and Treasurer, Melissa Zablocki, I am ready to launch. This race is important because it will shape the leaders in our state. Our state needs more candidates who are willing to look at our community’s true needs and find common ground for the good of our residents. I will be that voice for our district.
My Priorities for our Community Are:
Championing local voices in the legislative process.
Creating an environment that encourages businesses to choose Connecticut as a home and help to grow and contribute to its economy.
Advocating for local decision making in housing and education to ensure that our children and neighbors live in communities that reflect our district’s needs.
Stopping government overreach that hurts our state and community.
I Need Your Support:
Our goal is to gather 150 donations to get my campaign up and running. I am asking you to support our campaign with a contribution.
Your donation is not just funding a campaign, it’s supporting a more responsive government in the statehouse.
Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our community. It’s an honor and privilege to serve you.
Warmest regards,
Representative Tracy Marra
