Kick-Start this Change


It is no secret that Connecticut is struggling when compared to our neighbors. As other states flourish and attract new opportunities, we remain saddled with high deficits, low growth, and sadly, lower optimism for the future. We need to change course with new leadership in Hartford and it starts with electing Bob Siegrist (R) as state representative for the 36th District of Chester, Deep River, Essex, and Haddam.

We can kick-start this change on Election Day by no longer electing career politicians. Bob’s approach will be independent, yet bipartisan, as he works with others to develop new ideas and practical solutions to problems that career politicians only talk about, but never seem to solve.

Bob stands ready to address the state’s budgetary challenges. When our state legislature reconvenes next year, these problems—starting with the budget—need immediate attention given their impact on our families and communities.

We need a fresh voice and new leadership in Hartford to address the challenges facing our district and the State of Connecticut.

On Nov. 8, I encourage your readers to vote for Bob Seigrist for 36th District state representative!
