OPINION: Positive or Negative - You Decide

Dan Carter, State Representative 2nd District, represents Newtown, Redding, Bethel and Danbury.

By now many of us are tired of the negative campaigning and mailers. I know I am.

Imagine if you had someone who takes the smallest thing you say and distorts it into a misleading view of what you stand for. Or, if someone looks at the work you do, and can misrepresent it to the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, November 4th you get to make a choice. I hope we can all take a look at our candidates and focus on what they are for.

As for me, I am for living within our means, so I work to reduce spending and lower taxes. I am for businesses and families thriving in Connecticut, so I reduce regulation and fees wherever possible. I am for bringing all sides of an issue together for common solutions that make Connecticut a better place to live.

If you want to stop negative campaigns, then vote for positive people.
