Former Milford Alderman Running For State Office

Submitted and written by Bryan Anderson, of Milford, a candidate for the 119th District

I had the honor of representing Milford’s Fifth District as a Democratic member of the Board of Aldermen for 8 years. Working with Mayor Ben Blake and aldermanic colleagues, we brought innovation and growth to Milford, all the while, growing the Grand List and providing fiscal responsibility. As alderman, I was one of the original architects of property tax cuts for Milford taxpayers, and I was a watchdog that made sure that city budgets permitted people to continue to afford their property taxes and stay in their homes. As a result, Milford is one of the true standouts among municipalities in our region and state.

It took hard work and dedication to achieve these results. It also required listening to what residents desired of their elected officials, and then acting upon our shared values. On that point, I have earned a reputation for tackling problems and knowing how to assist constituents directly or seek changes in policy that benefit the greater good. While I am proud of our accomplishments, I am likewise concerned about our future.

That’s why I have chosen to run for State Representative from the 119th District.

I am committed to running a vigorous campaign, looking to tap into the vision and talents of our residents, while raising innovative and practical ideas that can help to make Connecticut the envy of other states.

I will be raising issues related to fiscal responsibility and government transparency, environmental sustainability and climate change, women’s health and support for women, a comprehensive transportation program that focuses on local needs in Milford and Orange, and workplace equity, economic innovation and readiness, and education.

I look forward to engaging in a positive, issues-oriented campaign that will reflect our values and get the job done for Orange and Milford.
