A Breath of Fresh Air

It has been such a breath of fresh air learning about Brandi Mandato, who I wholeheartedly support for the State Senate seat in District 34! Brandi is just the kind of person we need advocating for North Haven in Hartford. She has unwavering values and integrity that won’t be compromised, yet she is able to work with others respectfully across the aisle and of different opinions to create solutions. I love that Brandi is who she is; there is no pretense or false narrative. She is from here, fighting for the people and businesses that make North Haven a wonderful place.

These aren’t talking points on some flyer. This woman’s record speaks for itself. Her hard work has made real improvements in the lives of people through her work fighting for access to quality education and jobs, by bringing together community partner to open doors for those left on the sidelines, and by fighting for better access to healthcare. Her focus is on the big picture, while knowing that the biggest gains must be made one step at a time.

Talking with Brandi for just a few minutes, her passion and enthusiasm are contagious. But what will be key for North Haven is having all of this experience, passion, willingness to do the hard work to get things done, while always keeping her integrity and ethics beyond reproach.

I encourage all my neighbors in the District to get to know Brandi Mandato and learn for yourself about her hard work ethic, integrity and passion to do what’s right. We need leadership who lead by example and through hard work, integrity, and passion to make North Haven future shine at its brightest!
