I am writing to encourage my fellow community members to get to know and support Cinzia Lettieri for State Representative of the 35th District. As a teacher and parent in Westbrook, I am inspired by Cinzia’s focus on issues that will strengthen the vibrancy and quality of our communities as we navigate challenging times.

Cinzia is already involved in Clinton’s efforts to modernize and improve infrastructure, and she plans to prioritize ensuring that our shoreline communities are well-positioned to support local businesses and residents when she takes her work to Hartford.

Raising her family in the community that raised her, Cinzia draws on her background in management, education, and policy to be the kind of representative the 35th District needs. She puts community above political affiliation. While I am confident she will take a strong stand on reproductive rights and healthcare for women, I am equally certain that she will listen to all of her neighbors—Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike—as she advocates for the 35th.

Let’s elect a true champion of the community on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
