JOIN ME in voting for Alexis Gevanter for State Senate!
August is upon us, and hopefully the majority of Greenwich residents are aware that a special election for the 36th district Senate seat will happen on August 17th.
I’ve known Alexis Gevanter, who has earned the Democratic endorsement, for the last two years, through volunteer work with Moms Demand Action, a national nonpartisan gun violence prevention organization, and personally as a music teacher to one of her young sons.
Alexis is a fiercely intelligent-yet-humble person with seemingly boundless energy and ambition to create a healthy, vibrant community for all citizens. I watched her roll up her sleeves and dedicate time and effort as a passionate advocate for public safety, taking decisive action steps that earned her the esteemed position of Connecticut State Chapter lead within Moms Demand Action.
While Alexis is indeed a leader on gun violence prevention and public safety, she is not a single-issue candidate. She believes we need to invest in education, fully fund our police departments, and as a business attorney, she’s uniquely positioned to understand and appreciate the considerations conducive to small business relocation and expansion here in Connecticut. She will collaborate closely with Governor Lamont to bring in more companies and high-paying jobs to our state.
Alexis is also committed to partnering with the Governor to continue the sound fiscal policy that has earned our state its first Aaa bond rating in 20 years and will work to make sure that the recently passed no tax increase balanced budget becomes the standard, not the exception.
Alexis is a determined advocate for our values, and will work to protect women’s rights, advance equal pay, expand access to voting, improve our air and water quality, fight climate change, and invest in our public schools, which are among the best in the country.
I know from working alongside Alexis that she has the experience, skills, and temperament required to be an outstanding State Senator. I strongly support Alexis Gevanter for this position and encourage all of you to cast your vote for her and spread the word. Out of town on the 17th? You can download an absentee ballot, complete it, and take it to Greenwich Town Clerk’s office today to vote in person!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
