Letter To The Editor: Tony Hwang Brings Empathy To Hartford

Press release from Jeff and Brenda Steele:

October 31 2020

We have known Tony Hwang for over 15 years. Tony was one of our RTM Representatives when he first got into politics in Fairfield in 2005, and then subsequently our State Representative and State Senator since 2008. During this entire time, Tony has also been our neighbor and our friend, so we can certainly speak for his integrity, decency, and solid moral compass. While we have written letters in past elections in support of Tony and his command of the issues, his legislative successes, his responsive constituent servicing, and constant accessibility – all of which are still of the highest caliber - it's important to also focus on his character. Tony is a truly dedicated family man and a deeply passionate public servant and community leader – someone who not only cares about keeping Connecticut and Fairfield strong, but about the people who live in our community. One of Tony's special gifts is showing a genuine empathy for people. He wants to be there for people and his compassion shows no bounds – as both a state representative and a friend. Tony is visible everywhere in town and thrives on staying engaged with and caring about the people he meets. That is really one of the most important qualities we want in our government representatives – Empathy – something Tony has an abundance of.
