To the Editor:
I am writing to express my strong support for the re-election of Ryan Fazio as our State Senator for the 36th District. In a political landscape where division often dominates, Ryan stands out as a true bridge builder, committed to uniting people for the good of our community. That’s how Ryan wrote and passed six new laws, despite being a member of the minority party in Hartford.
Ryan is not driven by ideology; he is driven by a sincere commitment to do what is best for Greenwich. In a time when we frequently see leaders entrenched in “either/or” thinking, Ryan consistently embraces the power of “and.” He brings people together, rolling up his sleeves to work tirelessly on the issues that directly impact our lives.
One of the many reasons I support Ryan is his dedication to preserving local control. Not only was the only town legislator to vote against House Bill 5390, which included penalties for municipalities that did not comply with state zoning and housing requirements, but he killed the bill entirely by threatening a filibuster. The bill specifically threatened communities like ours with the loss of priority funding for infrastructure and grants if they failed to comply. By stopping this legislation, Ryan protected Greenwich from potential financial burdens and ensured we maintain control over our local zoning decisions.
As someone who cares deeply about the future of our community, I trust Ryan Fazio to continue representing us with integrity, pragmatism, and an unwavering commitment to making Greenwich a better place for everyone. Let’s ensure our community continues to thrive by supporting a leader who prioritizes us. Please join me in voting to re-elect Ryan Fazio as our State Senator.
