Waterford ― Republican Kathleen McCarty, the incumbent candidate for the 38th state House of Representatives seat, has been endorsed by the Connecticut REALTORS Association for the sixth consecutive time.

McCarty represents Waterford and Montville and serves as the ranking member of the Education Committee, and is a member of the Appropriations and the Public Health committees.

“I am proud to have received such strong support from the REALTORS Association and look forward to continuing our work to keep Connecticut as an affordable place for families,” McCarty said in a press release. “Realtors have a unique perspective on how the policies adopted in Hartford affect our communities and neighbors and it is encouraging to know my legislative record has earned their support.”

McCarty is challenged by Democrat Nick Gauthier.
