Fmr. State Rep. Fahrbach Endorses Russo

A letter to the editor from former State Representative Ruth Fahrbach regarding her endorsement of Mike Russo for the 60th District house seat.

To the Editor:

I’m voting for Mike Russo.

Right now, Connecticut’s economy is broken.  Our unemployment is at an all-time high.  Gas prices continue to rise, and people are moving out to our neighboring states.  What is Hartford’s solution to the problem?  Raise taxes across the board, give handouts to large corporations and say that these fixes will result in a better future for our state.  I am not buying it, nor is Mike Russo.

Mike is running for State Representative for the 60th district.  Mike is a small business owner.  He balances his budget, makes payroll and meets deadlines.  Mike knows that what it takes to run a business successfully is similar to making state government run efficiently. Mike’s proven leadership record in both business and public service with over 20 years of experience is second to none.

The state’s overhead costs need to be cut.  Our taxes need to be reduced.  Regulations crippling business growth need to be reduced and our elected officials must be held accountable for their actions.

We need to make Connecticut the best place to live, work, get a quality education, raise a family and retire. 

Mike needs your support to be our next State Representative and we need his passion and commitment in Hartford now more than ever. Please join me in supporting Mike Russo for the 60thhouse seat in Windsor and Windsor Locks on November 6th.

Sincerely,

 

Ruth Fahrbach
