To The Editor:

I am proud to support Jahana Hayes for re-election to the United States House of Representatives. She has more than earned our votes, unequivocally standing for the protection of a woman’s right to choose, Connecticut agriculture, historic investments in infrastructure, healthcare, the environment, education, veterans, the economy, and of course law and order (her husband is a Waterbury police officer).

But don’t take it from me, take it from these people who have endorsed her: Connecticut AFL-CIO; Connecticut Realtors; Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut; Planned Parenthood; Building Trades — Connecticut; UAW; Humane Society Legislative Fund; Connecticut to Protect Healthcare; National Nurses United; CEA-Teachers; Mom’s Seal of Approval on Child Care; Sierra Club; Newtown Action Alliance; CT Citizens Action Group; International Union of Operating Engineers, etc.

And just a note, if we substituted the name of Jahana Hayes for Chris Murphy (US Senate), Michelle Ku, PhD (State Representative), and Rob Blanchard (State Senate), same support. Connecticut and the country has record low inflation, record low unemployment, record job expansion, and wages far exceeding inflation. Corporations are being called for record profit exploitation, and the middle class is expanding, and the United States has the strongest economy in the entire world. Yes, Google it. And all without running up multi-trillion dollar national debts that our children and grandchildren will have to address.

Vote November 5.
