I am writing in strong support of Cinzia Lettieri for State Representative here in our 35th District. Cinzia is a uniquely qualified and exceptional candidate who will serve our communities well.
She is a public school teacher who has spent more than fifteen years working in education, advocacy and policy. Cinzia understands the significance of our trades, apprenticeships, and vocational opportunities that provide multiple pathways for students to achieve a high standard of living and financial success. As a former public education teacher for 40+ years, I understand the importance of her support for trades, manufacturing and entrepreneurship, as well as providing preparation for college.
Cinzia is an advocate for providing competitive salaries for teachers and para-educators to ensure that every educator earns a living wage. This is essential for attracting and retaining top talent in the education field. She has already helped to obtain state and federal grants and will fight to bring tax dollars back to our district.
Cinzia has knocked on our doors and is always ready to listen to residents. For these and many other reasons, I will vote for Cinzia Lettieri and encourage other voters to support her.
Cinny MacGonagle, Killingworth
