Coventry CT Democrats

10/23/2026

On the ballot this election, you'll see two additional questions up for a vote.

The first question asks voters to update our town's outdated (by 35 years!) fixed-dollar spending cap to percentage-based triggers that adjust naturally with inflation and town budget growth.

Over 1% of tax levy items will go to a town meeting, and requests to bond (a fancy way to say borrow) over 1.5% will go to a town meeting, and then referendum.

Voters will always have a say on new bonding.

"Immigration is a federal issue, but enforcement is affecting families right here in Connecticut. As your State Senator, I’ll stand up for the people of our district and push back on abuses of power, no matter where they come from." Thank you Ethan Werstler for State Senate for your strong stance on immigration enforcement abuses. And we are impressed by how you responded to the demeaning comments from current Sen. Gordon during your WINY debate. His behavior is unbecoming and unprofessional.

Please share:
Ultra-conservative groups like Turning Point USA (TPUSA) are spending big money to target state-level and local races across our communities. They know that when turnout is low, a small group can change local government overnight.

We're watching this play out right here in the 8th House District as UCONN Turning Point USA chapter president, William Gifford, is running as the Republican candidate for the House of Representatives.

Swipe through to see the playbook TPUSA is using to push out moderates and bring national culture wars to our town halls and statehouses.

Don't let dark money shape your local government. Look closely at who is backing your candidates, and vote ROW A down the entire ballot!

"When state legislators pass new requirements without providing the funding to implement them, local taxpayers are left paying the bill.
Unfunded state mandates put small, suburban, and rural school districts in Eastern Connecticut at constant risk." ~ Lombard for the 8th

Relieving property tax pressure for our seniors doesn't require defunding our schools or skyrocketing taxes on young families.
My platform focuses on four practical, state-level policy solutions to help Eastern CT seniors stay in the communities they helped build:
- Expanding state Circuit Breaker income limits and tax credits
- Creating a state revolving loan fund for municipal tax deferrals
- Waiving conveyance transfer taxes for downsizing seniors
- Encouraging "Missing Middle" senior housing options in local zoning
Swipe through to see how these targeted policies deliver real relief!

We are seeing some misleading information being shared about the charter revisions in an attempt to keep us in the 1990s. Here’s a little something to get you started on finding alternative information based on facts and the process and reasoning of the charter revision commission. Stay tuned to this page for further updates!

"Fixing Connecticut's property tax crisis requires real structural reforms—not temporary fixes. Eastern Connecticut deserves a fair school funding model that protects working families, supports students, and respects local municipal budgets. My platform focuses on five key legislative solutions:
- Indexing base student aid to inflation
- Mandating 100% full funding for special education grants
- Creating permanent municipal tax stabilization grants
- Rewarding back-office regional cooperation (without forced school regionalization)
- Granting towns flexible local-option revenue sources"
Makes sense to us, Lombard for the 8th
