As we continue to navigate through a global public health crisis, rebuild our economy and ensure our children maintain the highest standards of education, we need the right leaders who will stand behind us and do whatever it takes to get the job done. As a resident of southeastern Connecticut, I will support Senator Cathy Osten on Nov. 3, and I encourage your readers to do so as well. Cathy has fought continually for jobs during this pandemic and has developed a solid plan to benefit both the tribes and the state through the Connecticut Jobs and Revenues Act.

Likewise, Representatives Devin Carney, Holly Cheeseman, Chris Conley, Joe de la Cruz, Doug Dubitsky, Brian Lanoue, Kathleen McCarty, Andrew Nolan, Chris Riley, Kevin Ryan, Brian Smith, Mike France, and Kate Rotella have also earned my vote because they have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to working together across party lines for the best interests of our region. Please consider joining me in re-electing these dedicated public servants.

Together, our votes can help reposition our state for a successful, safe, and prosperous future, because we simply cannot afford further setbacks or risks to our economy during such a critical time.
