Phenomenally Effective Representative

A foolish mistake made in my past has resulted in my being unable to find employment to provide for my family. In spite of all my efforts to make amends, and my living well over a decade without further incident, my previous requests for a first-time offender record expungement have been twice denied. In desperation, I reached out to State Representative Dave Yaccarino (R-87) for help. Dave was able to have my application reconsidered. As a result, I have obtained my employment certificate pardon, and I am now hopeful that I will receive a full expungement pardon soon.

I have known Dave for years and he has always been there for both me and my family. For many years, Dave has been a proud supporter of our organization Matthew Jacques Mission that was established in honor of our son, who sadly passed away in September 2013. This is the type of person that Dave Yaccarino is—a phenomenally effective representative and a strong personal friend. We need more like Dave in Hartford.
