Amybeth Laroche is going to represent OUR interests

If Rob Blanchard gets elected to state Senate, who will he actually work for?

Amybeth Laroche is a mom who has worked successfully in the private sector her entire career. She has never worked in politics before. She has entered this campaign simply because she is sick and tired of the endless overbuilding, increasing taxes and utility costs, speed cameras, and loss of local control to the Hartford super-majority. She will represent OUR interests.

Who will Rob Blanchard represent? The establishment in Hartford. He’s worked for the Government for his entire career. And he has worked as Communications Director for Ned Lamont for the past eight years. He’d be asking Fairfield voters to send him to a job where his literal boss for the last several years would suddenly be the very chief executive he's needed to provide a check upon. He’s an entrenched part of the Hartford political machine that has wreaked havoc in CT, and he will never change.

I want an impartial Senator who will represent OUR interests - the interests of the citizenry - not those of the Hartford establishment or a governor to whom he has personal loyalty. Therefore, I am voting for Amybeth Laroche for state Senator, and strongly encourage everyone to do so, as well.
