We need to build a wall around Connecticut. Donald Trump is the most anti-environment, anti-science, anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti-health care, anti-free press and anti-truth president ever. His Republican Party is just as bad, enabling his damage to our democracy.

If Republicans win in Connecticut they will bring his bigotry and distractions to our state.

Vote for the entire Democratic ticket to create a wall to save what is good and fair.

We are lucky to have a great group of Democratic candidates who are proven leaders and are willing to stand up for what is right.

I am especially urging you to support Bob Statchen for the 18th Senate seat. I have come to know him as a thoughtful, compassionate and smart family man with great experience. He will make sure that Connecticut progresses and does not fall victim to more of the toxic governing in Washington.
