To the Editor:

Newtown needs the continued, experienced support of Representative Mitch Bolinsky. Mitch has built eight years of successful leadership that cannot be matched by his inexperienced opponent. Mitch has shown his support for police, he’s defended domestic violence policy, he routinely offers guidance to Newtown residents with insurance and/or unemployment issues and he’s stood up in support of legislation benefiting all of Connecticut. These are just a few of the items on Mitch’s resume.

Mitch has voted to and influenced fellow legislators to defeat tolls five times. Mitch supported the rebuilding of the Sandy Hook School and did not support the recent unjustified Eversource rate increases. These are facts, traceable, and cannot be blurred. Mitch works around the clock for his constituents. For example, during Thanksgiving of 2019, Mitch helped 18 Newtown families secure heating oil for the winter months. Further examples would fill this page. During these uncertain times a novice will not have the capacity to serve our community nor the state as effectively as our incumbent. Mitch is the only individual that can effectively stand up for us. Join me in voting for Mitch Bolinsky for State Representative.
