State Rep Candidate Stephanie Thomas Endorsed by the Connecticut Working Families Party

State Rep Candidate Stephanie Thomas (143 District) was endorsed by Connecticut Working Families.

The Connecticut Working Families Party is an independent political organization that stands up for hard working families across Connecticut.

“The CT Working Families Party is excited to endorse so many inspiring candidates for office in 2018 — more candidates than ever before in our history. Voters in 2018 face a defining moment in our history, with our civil, social, and economic rights under attack in ways we hadn’t seen in decades. Now more than ever, we need elected officials who will not only resist these attacks, but will push forward with smart, forward-thinking ideas like paid family leave, a $15 minimum wage, and debt-free college,” Lindsay Farrell, State Director, CT Working Families Party.

Thomas said, “The CT Working Families Party has been fighting for decades for affordable health care, job creation, quality public education, raising the minimum wage, the alleviating student debt crisis, and environmental reform. I know first-hand that most people want a hand up and not a hand out. Good health, quality education and the ability to earn a living wage are the building blocks to ensure that families can take care of themselves without state support.”

Stephanie Thomas is a State Rep Candidate (143 District) and is dedicated to building a safe, healthy and economically strong future for Westport, Wilton and Norwalk. Meet Stephanie Thomas at the League of Women Voters of Westport Debate for Candidates at the Westport Town Hall: Monday, Oct. 29 (7-9pm)
