Deliberate, Thoughtful, and Empathetic

Most of the voters in Branford have a decision to make this Nov. 6. No incumbent is running to represent us in the 102nd District. Now is the right time to push the state in the right direction. Bob Imperato is the person voters should want to protect and fight for their interests. He is the right person at the right time with the right values to help correct Connecticut’s financial flaws.

Bob is committed to public service. He’s a family man; many locals know him as a parent, coach, and fan of Branford hockey. I can not speak to that, but I can speak to his service to the town of Branford. He served diligently on the Water Pollution Control Authority. I worked closely with Bob on the Branford RTM, serving with him on the Ways and Means Committee and watching him chair the Public Service Committee. Most recently Bob is serving on Branford’s Board of Finance. Bob is a fiscal conservative with a long career in banking. His experience in banking will serve him and the residents of Branford well. Remember, the State of Connecticut is in fiscal turmoil. He will not go to Hartford armed with dogmatic certitude, but rather with a persona that is deliberate, thoughtful, and empathetic as he makes decisions on behalf of the residents of Branford. He studies issues and he listens.

If Branford residents want a representative who understands balancing budgets and wants people to keep more of the money they have earned, I encourage them to join me on Nov. 6 and vote for Bob Imperato as representative from the 102nd Assembly District.
