LETTER: Four Reasons to Re-Elect Senator Alex Kasser

“Ryan Fazio wrote, in the middle of the pandemic, that he would get rid of the paid family leave program (and the planned $15 minimum wage too). …Ryan Fazio opted, during the recent League of Women Voters (LWV) debate, to politicize the issue by somehow ascribing an increase in gun violence in Stamford and New Haven over the summer to passage of the Police Accountability Act, which did not take effect until October 1, 2020.” – Jennifer Barro, MD Continue Reading →

LETTER: Now is NOT the Time for Greenwich Leadership and the Greenwich GOP to Remain Silent

“Let’s be clear, the CT GOP’s “Army of Trump” is yet another shameful attempt by the CT GOP to disenfranchise and intimidate voters under the pretext of alleged voter fraud. And, at a time when Trump is calling on right-wing extremists and militia groups to “stand back and stand by”
