Norwich should pick the best advocate

By Frank Manfredi Norwich

I have known Emmett Riley for a number of years. From his work for nonprofit organizations that help those who struggle with addiction and poverty to his service to our community on various boards and commissions, Emmett has dedicated a significant portion of his adult life working on behalf of Norwich.

Now Mr. Riley is asking us to consider him for state representative in the 46th District this year.

Given his track record in our community, his ideas for addressing the issues that face our state and region, and his energy and enthusiasm for Norwich, he is ready, willing and able to serve as our representative in Hartford.

Emmett will continue to advocate and fight for our community as a representative. Please join me in voting for him this November.
