Reject the career politician on Nov. 8

October 29, 2022 10:26 pm • Last Updated: October 29, 2022 10:26 pm

I attended the debate last Tuesday between Martha Marx and Jerry Labriola. When asked why Labriola should be the 20th District state Senator he said that his father and brother were in the state congress. He also said he walked the halls of the state capitol. Then I remember seeing a billboard on Route 85 of Labriola with state Sen. Paul Formica. It appears to me that Jerry Labriola has nothing to offer except riding on the coat tails of others. Up until recently, he lived in Naugatuck.

Martha Marx, on the other hand, has lived in the 20th District all her life, and she is passionate about working for this district. We have a choice on Nov .8: a career politician who is just going to vote party lines, or someone who will listen to our needs and fight for us.
