At my Town Hall last night in Torrington, a mother told me her story in tears.
She works hard and follows the rules, but our state has gotten so expensive that she’s had to take a third job just to make ends meet. She is an immigrant to our country, loves Connecticut, and always believed that if you work hard and follow the rules, you could get by in this state.
In recent years, that’s changed. After eight years of Gov. Lamont, our state has become so unaffordable that some people have to work three jobs just to get by.
It doesn’t have to be this way. As governor, I’ll cut her taxes by thousands of dollars, reduce her electric bills by 20 percent, bring good-paying jobs back to our state, and—most importantly—create hope and opportunity for families like hers and yours.
She deserves better. Our state deserves better. We can have better.
