I am supporting Renee LaMark Muir to represent Chester, Essex, Deep River, and Haddam as our next State Representative. Renee knows our community well. She has consistently shown her commitment to people in her life's work, as well as in extensive service to her community. She will work to protect our benefits and our quality of life.

She has demonstrated sensitivity to the needs of those over 65 and will be an advocate for us. As a senior living in Chester, I know that she will stand up for us in Hartford. She will protect healthcare services, keep the cost in line, and be an advocate for affordable housing.

We can also trust her to manage emergency medical services competently. We saw the need for this during the COVID pandemic. Her experience in law enforcement and policy issues will benefit not just seniors but everyone in our district.

Please join me in voting for Renee LaMark Muir for State Representative on Tuesday, Nov. 5. She gets my vote because I trust her to be competent and caring.
