To the Editor:
I support incumbent Chris Lyddy for reelection as Newtownâs state representative. For the past two years he has worked to pass legislation to protect the health and safety of children. He co-sponsored legislation banning cadmium from childrenâs jewelry, because health experts have proven it can have harmful effects. He supported legislation banning BPA from baby bottles and food containers, also shown to have hazardous effects. He also established a system with DCF and Department of Agriculture for cross-reporting child abuse and animal cruelty cases.
The Early Childhood Alliance has named him a Childrenâs Champion for the past two years. He also received the Tip of the Cap award from ConnCAN for his work on education.
Chris has earned reelection and my vote. I hope you will join me in supporting our community by voting for Chris Lyddy on November 2.
