LETTER: Trevor Crow will build consensus and deliver on her promises

Submitted by Richard C Lurie, New Canaan

There are few people willing to invest their time and energy into their community not for any national political movement or personal agenda, but simply the contentment of making the place you live better. Fortunately Trevor Crow is one of these people and we are very fortunate she is running to be our Senator in Hartford for Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford.

Here are some of Trevor’s priorities if she is elected.

• Reproductive rights are under attack across the country, and with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Connecticut must codify abortion protections. Trevor Crow will always fight for a woman’s right to choose, and make sure abortions stay legal, accessible, and safe.

• Connecticut is in a strong economic position thanks to Democratic leadership, but with many local businesses facing continued economic hardship due to the pandemic, Trevor knows it’s time to reinvest in our communities. She believes local needs must be met at the local level and will fight to cut taxes for our local business owners so our families can continue to flourish for years to come.

• Trevor will fight to bolster background check laws, make sure domestic abusers cannot purchase guns, and improve our efforts at enforcement of the laws we already have.

Trevor is uniquely suited to represent the interests of our communities in the state Senate by building consensus and delivering on her promises. This is why I am voting for Trevor and I hope you will as well.
