I am tired of the Democrats in Hartford ramming things down our throats, such as a 4-family house without ample parking can be built just about anywhere. I agree with voting red. Our state should be purple, not blue. Over 40% of Connecticut citizens voted for President Trump in 2024, but they do not have a single representative in Congress. At least we should have a purple state government who will help the middle-class to stop the tax hikes.
The Democrats wouldn't even stand up at a State of the Union for putting Americans before the citizens of other countries. I'm a former Democrat and I'm sure JFK is spinning in his grave over what his beloved party has come to represent. Not one Dem Senator voted to protect biological females in woman's sports. Dems claim to be the "party of science" but they must have skipped Bio 101 and the effects of testosterone on muscle mass. PS - Males are already born stronger due to fetal testosterone.
Surely you jest when you say it is a Republican who doesn't want to answer questions about affordability! Even Governor Lamont is running against his decisions of the last eight years. Almost every Democrat candidate bemoans the cost of living in our state, especially our electric bills, yet the Democrats have done nothing to curb bleeding the middleclass. Republicans like Bolinsky and LaRoche question the 1.70-billion-dollar net profit Eversource made in 2025, up from 811 million in 2024. Eversource more than doubled their profit in one year!
Mr. Blanchard has lived in Newtown such a short time (4 months by the time Election Day rolls around), just like Brandon Moore lived here less than a year before he tossed his hat into the ring. Many of the same people who told us to vote for Moore instead of Michelle Ku citing she wasn’t a good candidate to represent us in Hartford, now tell us to vote for Ku. Dozens of Bee endorsements wrote of Moore’s wonderful character, and although he has only lived in Newtown a short time, truly loves our town and understands us. These same people are now telling us to vote for Blanchard. Why would anyone ever value the judgment of character of those who supported Moore? Moore was arrested by Newtown Police on DUI charges and leaving the scene of an accident. He crossed the center line on Main Street and could have killed someone. Although a letter to the editor from Moore’s spouse promised they will “build our future and raise our family here in Newtown”, their house which was bought in June of 2025, was already on the market by July 2026.
There is one thing I agree with Moore, and that is in his letter to the editor- “We cannot keep running the same playbook and expect different results.” If you want affordability, fill in the red circle on every single choice., and vote out the Blue
