Support for Kissel

I am writing to support Senator John Kissel in the election on Nov. 8. He has worked across the aisle to help make Connecticut more affordable and safer for all of us. He led many rallies to help get the state gas tax suspended. He was a co-sponsor of “Jennifer’s Law” to increase protective orders and enhance state laws regarding domestic violence. He has always supported our police officers and corrections officers.  He co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to strengthen laws regarding drug abuse, prevention and treatment.

I wrote to him with concerns regarding the influx of Fentanyl being smuggled from our open southern border and how it is taking the lives of our young people…there were over 100,000 deaths last year in the US and we have unfortunately seen it increasing in our state. He responded immediately to my letter.  He listens and responds to us to work for all of us.

Here are a few reasons why I am voting for Senator John Kissel in November. This year he voted in favor of legislation that supports those with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families /caregivers. He co-sponsored “Jennifer’s law”, which expands state law regarding domestic violence to include non-violent acts like financial and psychological abuse. He co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to enhance children’s mental health care. He is the ranking Republican on the judiciary, criminal justice and corrections systems.

I have known John Kissel for many years and his friendship has been invaluable to me. As a State Representative he has also been supportive of my issues and he has always responded to my calls and emails when I needed to express my concerns for issues important to me. He will do the same for you.  I recommend voting for John Kissel as he will always be a voice for you as a citizen.

My husband, Bill, and I have known Sen. John Kissel over ten years and during that time we have been fortunate to admire his integrity and dedication to represent his constituents in the 7th Senatorial District to the very best of his ability with truth and transparency, which is so sorely needed in this age of incompetent and corrupt politicians. He has proven that he has true compassion for the elderly and veterans based on his time and effort in the legislature to champion the need to provide financial support and critical, rational solutions to the challenges that they face. You can trust John to keep his word in both personal and public activities. A vote for John will provide a return on investment for individuals, families and our future generations.

I am writing this letter in support of State Senator John A. Kissel. John has served the 7th Senatorial District for the last 29+ years. He has served with the upmost of integrity, and with compassion for his constituents. John supported a $1.2 billion tax relief package for Connecticut working and middle-class families. This would have offered an income tax cut, a sales tax cut, and it would have eliminated taxes that drive up the prices of food.

Senator Kissel has also sponsored legislation to strengthen the Connecticut laws that affect opioid abuse prevention and treatment. The bill, which will implement a peer navigator program to assist those in recovery, is now law. John also cosponsored legislation to help children and families by growing the behavioral health workforce, expanding treatment facilities, and increasing insurance coverage for mental health services. That bill is now law.

Senator Kissel is also a strong supporter and advocate for our correctional officers and our policeman. He opposed a police accountability bill that made our communities less safe. John is the Ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee that oversees the state’s judiciary, criminal justice, and corrections system. John is dedicated to his community and serving his constituents. Please join me in November by voting for State Senator John A. Kissel.
