Lucy Dathan Endorsed By Connecticut Realtors For Re-Election

Press release from Pat Tinto:

Sept. 15, 2020

The Connecticut REALTORS®, (CTR) which represents 17,000 members involved in all aspects of real estate in Connecticut, has voted to endorse State Representative Lucy Dathan for re-election to the State House District 142, which includes Norwalk and New Canaan.

Dathan, who lives in the Silvermine area, thanked CTR for recognizing her dedicated efforts in her first term. She has worked tirelessly during the last two years to improve the quality of life for her constituents including most recently when the state was forced to shut down due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Lucy stepped forward acting as an advocate working with the Board of Realtors, Governor Lamont and DEDC Commissioner Lehman to ensure that real estate transactions would be able to proceed under the waiver program and function smoothly following safe guidelines and protocols.

CTR’s endorsement of her re-election bid demonstrates how Rep. Dathan’s priorities align well with the legislative program of the Realtors and is evidenced in her responses to the questionnaire they used to evaluate candidates and “determine who may best ensure there is a positive environment for living in or transferring property in Connecticut.”

CTR policies that Lucy supports include: Reforming the property tax, improving the state’s infrastructure, increasing opportunities for home ownership, protecting the environment, and advocating for critical programs to address the opioid crisis in Connecticut and its impact on our communities and families.

Lucy shares CTR’s belief that “real estate is essential to economic recovery and stability in the state and helps to build communities.”
