A pressing concern shared by the majority of residents in our communities over the past few years has been the rising cost of living, along with the frustrating sense that our towns are losing their autonomy in shaping critical issues like education and housing. Adding to this frustration is the perception that our representatives in Hartford and Washington, D.C., are out of touch with the common-sense needs of their constituents.
That’s why our current State Senator Ryan Fazio is a breath of fresh air and deserves our vote for re-election. His optimism, coupled with a pragmatic willingness to compromise, makes him the ideal leader to move our district forward. Ryan is an advocate for our public schools, a strong and competitive economy, safe communities, and a woman’s right to choose. This isn’t just rhetoric—during his tenure as state senator, Ryan has consistently voted to support these core priorities. His youthful energy, intelligence, and forward-thinking vision for Connecticut are exactly what we need at this challenging and complex time.
I urge you to support Ryan Fazio, whose sane, sensible, and smart approach to governance is a win for all of us. When he succeeds, our entire community benefits.
Aaron Kennon, Old Greenwich
