To the Editor:

I am writing to show my support and endorsement for our State Representative Mitch Bolinsky.

Mitch is running for his third term and I would encourage all Newtowners to vote for him. Mitch has worked hard with our other two state representatives, Dan Carter and J.P. Sredzinski, who both represent smaller sections of Newtown, while Mitch represents all of Newtown. Thanks to Mitch, with the help from Dan, J.P., and Senator Tony Hwang, Mitch has been successful in bringing over a million dollars back to Newtown for items such as mental health funding, special education funding, and community grants for funding security at all Newtown schools to name a few.

Mitch has proven his support for Newtown school families, as well as Newtown seniors with bills he voted for during his tenure as our state representative. Mitch is a public servant dedicated to Newtown's needs, but working to make things better for all Connecticut families. Honesty and integrity are a main focus with Mitch in his life and work, and that is important for my family.

I know that I am voting for Mitch Bolinsky, a champion for Newtown, and hope you will also.

Thank you.
