Healy Campaign For 26th District Qualifies For Grant

From the Kim Healy Campaign:

Kim Healy, the Republican endorsed candidate for CT State Senate District 26, announced on July 9th that she had met the qualifying threshold of the State’s Citizens Election Program (CEP). Healy raised $16,370 from 372 contributors.

"I am so thankful for the overwhelming support for my campaign. I filed to run on March 17th almost a week after our local schools closed, and at the same time, the state-imposed a stay-at-home order. As an unknown in the political sphere, I expected it would be a huge challenge to get the donations needed to qualify, as limitations on social interactions resulted due to COVID-

19.

"The donations came from people who know me and trust that I will do what is in the best interest of the 26 th District. I am thankful for all of those I have met through phone and Zoom calls. My strong ties to my community and the network of support I have built in these few short
months in the towns throughout the 26th District, with donations from all ages and party affiliations, helped me reach my fundraising goals.

"We continue to have serious issues in Connecticut, only compounded by COVID-19, and I am committed to addressing those issues to benefit all residents.

"I know we are facing challenging and uncertain times, and more than ever we need a leader who is committed to supporting our schools and ensuring that our towns see a full economic recovery. I’m running to represent the 26 th District because I am deeply invested in our community and I’m ready to do the necessary hard work every day and ensure we get our state back on track and on secure financial footing."
