Sen. Witkos Qualifies for Citizens Election Program Grant

Press release:

Canton - Recently, the State Elections Enforcement Commission approved Senator Kevin Witkos’ application for a public grant from the Citizen’s Election Program for the November 4th election in the 8th Senatorial District, which includes the towns of Avon, Barkhamsted, Canton, Colebrook, Granby, Hartland, Harwinton, New Hartford, Norfolk, Simsbury and Torrington.

The CEP required Witkos to raise $15,000 in small contributions and have at least 300 donors that reside in the towns within the district.

“I’m delighted with the overwhelming support I’ve received and I am encouraged that so many people wanted to support my reelection efforts,” Witkos stated. “As I speak with the voters in the district and listen to their concerns, it’s clear that we have to change the way things are operating in Hartford. Our residents worry everyday that they will be hit with another tax increase or new tax on items that used to be tax-free. People can’t afford it and are tired of the Democrats and Gov. Malloy’s constant picking of their pocket.”

“Our communities need a strong voice at the state capitol who have a commitment to making Connecticut great again. I’ll work to ensure all our residents are heard and that the qualify of life we enjoy is preserved.” Witkos added.

Senator Witkos has been serving the residents of the 8th District for three terms. He prides himself on being an independent voice that advocates for job growth by making our state welcoming to all businesses, fighting against tax increases, protecting our environment and keeping our families safe.
