Bethel's Will Duff to Run for 2nd State Rep Term

BETHEL, CT -- State Representative Will Duff (R-2) received the unanimous endorsement by the assembled delegates as their candidate to represent the 2nd Assembly District, which is comprised of the majority of Bethel and portions of Danbury, Redding and Newtown. The vote was held at Bethel Town Hall on May 16.

In his acceptance speech Duff said, “I’m grateful to you for unanimously nominating me to again run for the honor of serving a second term as the 2nd Assembly District’s voice and Representative in Hartford. I work every day to make sure the people of Bethel, Danbury, Redding and Newtown don’t get pushed out of the conversation."

Duff is in his first House of Representatives and serves on the Higher Education and Advancement, Energy and Technology and Banking Committees.

Duff said that in the budget compromises, the people of the 2nd District will see that the state has now implemented a state spending cap, the same cap Connecticut residents voted overwhelmingly for in 1992.

“After I was sworn into office my first bill I filed was to eliminate the state income tax on Social Security and pensions, and what I call a major victory for the retired and those who wish to one day retire in Connecticut, within the state budget compromise we were able to get a phase out of those taxes,” said Duff.
