Urging votes for Democrats this November

As the District D Co-Chairs for the Norwalk Democratic Town Committee, we are proud to support our experienced Democratic candidates this Nov. 3.

On the federal level, Jim Himes has continued to support Norwalk and the Fourth District throughout COVID-19 and setbacks from the Trump presidency. Himes has helped process thousands of unemployment applications, assisted our seniors and veterans, encouraged new businesses to come to Connecticut, brought home millions of dollars in grants to support small businesses, education and local economic development.

At the local level, state Sen. Bob Duff and state Rep. Lucy Dathan continue to stand up for all of us. They both co-sponsored legislation to gradually raise the minimum wage so workers are paid fairly and can support their families and to support paid family medical leave so no one has to choose between supporting a family member or their job.

Health care is a huge focus at the federal and local levels. Jim Himes has been advocating to improve the Affordable Care Act and protect coverage for pre-existing conditions and Bob Duff and Lucy Dathan have voted to cap insulin prices in Connecticut and co-sponsored legislation to extend telehealth benefits through March 15, 2021 so people can see their doctors and get help from home.

Stephanie Thomas knows the business. As a small business owner and nonprofit consultant, Stephanie knows how hard it can be to start and maintain your own business. She will go to work for our local businesses and local families in Norwalk. We cannot wait to see her elected as a state Representative for the 143rd District.

Himes, Duff, Dathan and Thomas know and respect our Norwalk values. When the national rhetoric is divisive, these key leaders work to reach across the aisle and work in a bipartisan way to get the job done.

Vote Jim Himes for Congress, Bob Duff for state Senate, Lucy Dathan for state Representative and Stephanie Thomas for state Representative this Nov. 3.
