Dear Friends:
It is with great excitement that I announce my decision to run for re-election to the Connecticut General Assembly. I am eager to continue my service as Newtown's State Representative and am energized by the work I have been able to accomplish this past year.
As Americans, we are constantly reminded of President Kennedy's inauguration speech when he enthusiastically proclaimed that the torch had been passed to a new generation of Americans. I have decided to seek re-election because I am determined to keep that torch lit and fight for Newtown and the people of this great state.
Certainly, this past year has been a roller coaster for many of us. We have experienced one of the worst economic storms in over 70 years; a storm that has left children, families, and communities in dire straits. As a legislator, I listened to the outcry for support, learned about the wide range of situations facing our children and families, and led the charge with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to address many of these issues.
Teaming up with people from our community, other legislators and people from across the United States, I worked cooperatively, imaginatively, and purposefully to improve the lives of the citizens in Connecticut; ensuring we passed legislation that supports jobs, public health, education, energy efficiency, military families, and the environment.
Despite the great work that was accomplished in the last two years, there is still much that needs to be done. Newtown needs and deserves a representative who is in-touch with our community, one who is committed long-term to the vibrancy of our families, and someone who will continue to work day and night to ensure that our great democracy is working for the people.
When all is said and done, this campaign is about people. It's about the friends and families here in our community. It is about the place we call home and the place many of us have grown up. This campaign is about ensuring that we continue, with hope and determination, on the road to economic recovery and stability in our homes and communities.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in the Connecticut General Assembly. I look forward to two more years of dedicated service.
All my best,
Chris Lyddy
