Welch-Collins ready to represent 38th District

On Tuesday, Democrats in Waterford and Montville will select their candidate for 38th District state representative from a slate of three earnest young men. While all three are comparable in their outreach efforts and desire to serve, only Baird Welch-Collins has the critical knowledge of both local and state issues, as well as a sincere interest in the ideas and concerns of his potential constituents.

I gained a unique understanding of Baird’s approach to public service over the past four years, while working as opposing campaign manager and serving as colleagues on the RTM. He is responsive to constituents, truly informed on issues, and open to compromise when it will best serve the needs of the town.

As for the state legislature, he intends to work closely with the 15-member southeastern Connecticut delegation so that we can regain a strong voice in the competition between big cities and small towns.

Baird has shown his dedication to this area through years of community service, elected office, and initiatives to get local youth interested in town issues and public service. He is the best choice on primary day and will prove to be the responsible and receptive legislator in Hartford we deserve to have once again. Susan Driscoll Waterford RTM Waterford
