Ridgefield State Rep Berger-Girvalo To Seek Re-election

RIDGEFIELD, CT — On Monday, State Rep. Aimee Berger-Girvalo announced her plans to run for re-election to the Connecticut House of Representatives, serving Ridgefield’s 111th district.

Less than 15 hours later, she had raised $5,800 from 150 voters in Ridgefield in amounts of $5-$290. The swift fundraising qualified Berger-Girvalo, a Democrat, for the Citizen’s Election Program, a voluntary program which provides clean elections financing to candidates for statewide office.

"I am grateful for the support of my fellow residents of Ridgefield, the town I love," Berger-Girvalo said. "Entering the CT General Assembly 12 months ago amidst a global pandemic, I was privileged to serve and deliver concrete action that eased hardships for Ridgefielders while also advancing critical local and statewide initiatives to achieve immediate and long-term goals. If re-elected, I will continue to work hard to drive the kind of legislation that fortifies fiscal and economic security, and that safeguards and benefits women, children and families. I am proud that my first session’s work resulted in securing $2 million dollars for the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield, the passage of legislation requiring defibrillators in gyms at the request of a Ridgefield constituent, as well as other legislative initiatives which benefit our town and state."
