Vote for Candy Perez

It has been many years since I have actively backed a candidate for office. This is primarily because, until this election cycle, there has not been a candidate that I felt strongly enough about to actively support. Candy Perez has changed all that.

Candy was an educator for 35 years. She taught for 18 years, served as a principal 10 years, athletic director for 17 years and coached multiple sports. Now that Candy is retired, she has the time and energy to represent the 63rd District in Hartford . Certainly her career experiences will serve her well as a legislator. She knows first hand the impact that legislative action can have on our educational system.

Candy has dedicated a good portion of her life to public service in Winsted. She has served eight terms on the Board of Selectmen. In that time she was mayor from 2009-11 and from 2015 to the present. Candy also spent five years working on the Inland Wetlands Commission. All of this gives her a real understanding of the issues facing our communities and how legislative action can help or hinder our towns.

In these uncertain times she will provide a steady and stabilizing voice in the legislature. Candy will represent her constituency and see to it that we receive our fair share. She will not cast votes based on party loyalty but rather on the merits of the issues.

On Nov. 6, please join me in casting your ballot to elect Candy Perez state representative from the 63rd District. Francis Jasmin, Winsted
