The Ultimate ‘Kitchen Table’ Candidate


We are winding down a very challenging election year that has many of us anxious. There is no doubt that our wider country is facing grave threats to democracy and our longstanding way of life. In Connecticut, we have a historical tradition of steadiness and an appreciation for decency, character, compassion, dignity, and ethics. In this spirit, I urge you to vote for Brandi Mandato for State Senate.

I’ve gotten to know Brandi and have been tremendously impressed with her understanding of Connecticut families and the issues that affect them. She is the ultimate “kitchen table” candidate who will understand your concerns on matters of utility rate hikes, diminishing support for our unifying public schools, investments in worker safety and security, and affordable, accessible healthcare for all residents of Connecticut. These are just a few issues representative of her values.

Brandi is a realist. She is not given to conspiracy or rigid ideology. She understands that government works best when it is accountable and flexible. As a seasoned policy analyst, she understands that the hard work of study and review leads to better decision-making at the state capitol, leading to a better return on investment for Connecticut taxpayers.

Strong, courageous, working on behalf of all residents of our beautiful and diverse state. That’s Brandi Mandato. Vote for her in early voting now or on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
