BERLIN, CT - Six-term incumbent Rep. Joe Aresimowicz accepted unanimous endorsement of the delegates to the Democratic Convention of the 30th Assembly District, covering Berlin and Southington, Tuesday night at The Pine Loft in Berlin.

“I am honored to accept the nomination to run for my seventh term as state representative,” Aresimowicz said in a written statement. “It is an honor and a privilege to represent the people of Berlin and Southington. I truly enjoy fighting for the issues and policies that matter most to our community, and I am eager to continue that work on behalf of my constituents.”

“It’s great to have someone like Joe advocating for us in Hartford,” said Berlin Democratic Committee member Christine Fairwood. “He fights for our community, and he fights for issues that support women all across the state. Supporting initiatives that helping women veterans gain access to services, and support victims of domestic violence make me proud to call him my state representative.”

“Joe has done an exceptional job as our state representative,” said Southington Board of Education member Dave Derynoski. “Not only has he continuously stood up for public school education funding, but he always makes a point to meet with educators from the community whenever there is a policy or issue that may affect our teachers or the school system as a whole.”
