I’m writing to encourage readers to support the reelection of Chris Aniskovich, our State Representative. Throughout Chris’ two years, he has been an influential community advocate for all three towns in the district, bringing back necessary grant funding. This included 500,000 dollars for Chatfield Hollow in Killingworth and 325,000 to Sarah Inc. in Westbrook, just to name a few. The ability to secure these grants represents the strength of Chris's connections as our State Representative.

Chris has also been a leader in the legislature in finding solutions to reduce our electricity bills. He has echoed the calls for a special session, and with his experience on the Clinton Town Council, he has been able to have meaningful conversations with district leaders surrounding the issue of lowering these costs. He even submitted a petition to the governor directly from the Town of Clinton to address these problems.

Chris is also uniquely able to bring people together, bridging the partisan lines. His coalition is full of enthusiastic Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. This is reflected by his endorsement of the Independent Party because of his steadfast commitment to serving the people of his district first.

Chris Aniskovich is the State Representative we need to bring back common sense to Hartford and put Connecticut on a path to further growth. Please vote for Chris on either the Independent or Republican ballot line during early voting or on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
