98th District Democrats Endorse Rader In State Representative Bid

GUILFORD, CT —During their convention Wednesday, 98th District Democrats officially endorsed Moira Rader as their nominee for state representative. The district includes Guilford and parts of Branford.

“I am thrilled to accept the Democratic endorsement for State Representative of the 98th District. I am already hard at work: meeting with constituents, connecting with current legislators and doing the homework needed to be a prepared and effective representative of this wonderful community.”

Rader, currently Guilford Board of Education vice chair, formed an exploratory committee in January. Through "successful" fundraising, she qualified for the Connecticut Citizens’ Election Program. Rader said she's "now poised to launch an energized campaign, working to win the seat and represent the unique voices" of the district.

“Together, we have an opportunity to continue and expand upon the great strides Connecticut is making in public education, mental health supports, environmental initiatives, improvements to our infrastructure, thoughtful budgeting and protecting a woman’s access and right to health care," Rader said in a news release. "I’m excited to connect with constituents and hear what issues matter to them and how I can be their advocate and ally in the General Assembly.”
