I am supporting Devin Carney for re-election as our state representative for Lyme, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook. He has been the fiscal champion we need in a time of economic uncertainty. 

Devin has always stood up for taxpayers in Old Lyme and fought against increases in taxes that would have negatively affected our quality of life. Did you know there were serious proposals to add a new tax every time you brought your dog or cat to the vet? Or to add a new statewide tax on anyone who owned a second home (there are many in Old Lyme)? Or that the Department of Transportation wanted to spend our money on a study to look into a proposal that would tax us every mile we drive? 

Has Hartford lost its mind? For the most part, yes. But thankfully we have a representative who is rising above the insanity and standing up for us. 

Devin instead has focused on and making Connecticut more affordable. He supported reducing taxes on pensions and Social Security and on small businesses, and reducing government spending. 

I hope you will join me Nov. 6 in voting to re-elect Devin Carney.
