To the Editor:
I support State Representative Christine Palm for re-election to the 36th Assembly District.
As a senior, I appreciate Representative Palm’s concern for her constituents. At the onset of the COVID pandemic, I received phone calls from her office with offers of support. And I value her promotion of the wearing of masks in public spaces to protect everyone’s health and safety.
As a retiree, I appreciate her support of the working class and pensions of our state workers. Representative Palm has been a champion of working people, our “essential workers,” as evident in her consistent support of an increase in the minimum wage.
As a grandparent, I appreciate her ongoing legislative efforts to protect the environment and promote climate awareness. Her endorsements from the Sierra Club of CT and the CT League of Conservation Voters are indicative of her work to protect our land, air, and water.
As a taxpayer, I appreciate that Representative Palm has demonstrated a willingness to explore innovative ways to tackle our state’s economic issues, including more direct involvement of our young people.
As a person who values human rights, I appreciate Representative Palm as a legislator who has shown genuine concern for those marginalized in our society. Her voting record on health, public safety, social justice, worker’s rights, and women’s issues speaks for itself.
I have no desire to Bring Bob Back. My vote is for the future.
Sincerely,
Betsy Clifford
Higganum, CT
