This Election Day I will be supporting Noreen Kokoruda to be re-elected as our state representative.

Noreen’s leadership and experience are what we need in Hartford, now more than ever. While she was a selectman for 14 years and now as our state representative for 10 years, she always has put our town and the residents before any political party, and is a representative of all of us.

Noreen has worked hard on education and women’s issues by bringing people on both sides of the aisle together, something we should expect from our elected officials. We need more legislators who bring people together like Noreen.

I hope your readers will join me by casting their votes for Noreen on Nov. 3.
