To the Editor:

Tony Hwang is a state senator like no other. I have interacted with Senator Hwang multiple times over the past several years and can say that if every state senator were like Tony Hwang, we would have trust in our leaders and believe that our government can produce results while representing the best interests of all of us. A true statesman in every way.

Tony acts for the common good, regardless of the political consequences. He is an attentive listener, focused, and sensitive to the needs of his constituents. He is responsive and delivers results. Make no mistake, he is a passionate leader who fights for the people he represents.

I am not sure how Tony finds the time to cover so much ground, forms relationships with so many people, and remains so thoroughly versed on intricate legislative issues.

I have seen Tony support all types of people, regardless of their political affiliation, background, or interests, to help in their efforts to gain the attention of state and federal lawmakers. He is an ardent and caring proponent of senior citizens, the environment, farmers/open land, and outdoor causes. He has called constituents and non-constituents alike to check up on their home-bound family members for them during storms and power outages, just because he knew he’d be in the area.

I would cross party lines to vote for Tony Hwang. His unmatched service to each and every resident is invaluable; his upbeat demeanor and tireless attention to issues that affect all Connecticut residents is more than commendable, it is a great comfort in today’s tumultuous political environment. A vote for Tony Hwang is one of the best things you, as a voter, could do.

Sincerely,
