Today I write in support of Justin Anderson who is currently running for U.S. Congress, district 2.

Justin has had extensive military and civilian careers; highlights include 21 years in Infantry, Bronze Star recipient, lieutenant colonel in the Connecticut Army National Guard, instructor and commander at Officer Candidate School, over 20 years as a correctional officer in a maximum security prison (retired), with Special Operations Group experience, one year as a Connecticut state planner and leader of the Homeland Response Force, and experience as state intelligence operations specialist.

Justin is well acquainted with foreign policy because he has lived it. He is well acquainted with public safety because he has lived it. He has been a Connecticut resident for over 40 years, and his knowledge of state and national issues is apparent whenever he speaks.

I support Justin as he believes the near future will determine the direction of America. What Justin can bring to Washington is honesty, integrity, and leadership. I believe he will make decisions not based solely on party lines, but in the interest of “We the People."

I urge everyone to cast their votes this November 3 for Justin Anderson.
