To me, Renee LaMark Muir models the best of what the Democratic Party stands for. She is diligent in community service now as State Representative and previously in the police force and as a consultant on criminal justice issues. She has worked for the common good in legislating for environmental safety, access to health care, veterans benefits, immigrants rights and benefits for the elderly.
At the same time she has been realistic and practical about fiscal responsibility. Haddam has gotten generous state funding for education and development because of her collaboration in securing it. She deserves our strong support in her campaign for re-election!
