To the Editor;

Through the magic of redistricting, I feel like I won the Trifecta! There are three intelligent, well spoken, well informed, caring & feisty women that I get to vote for on November 8th: Congresswoman Jahana Hayes, State Senate Candidate Eva Bermudez Zimmerman and State Representative Maria Horn.

Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is on 2 important committees. Education & Labor, where she fights for the education, well being and safety of America’s students and also for workers, making sure they get a fair shake. Agriculture, fighting for our small family farms, so they have a say against the huge farming centers of the west, and so they can be there for our children & grandchildren. Our Congresswoman serves as the Chairwoman for the Subcommittee on Nutrition, Oversight and Department Operations believing that a hungry child cannot learn. She also serves on the Subcommittee on Livestock and Foreign Agriculture.

Eva Bermudez Zimmerman is a dynamo. Eva fights for union workers, education, the environment and healthcare. Eva received the Latino Person of the Year from the CT Legislature for signing up 15,000 people for the Affordable Care Act. Eva fights for causes she believes in.

Representative Maria Horn is up for re-election in the CT 64th District, but is new to the voters of Washington. Maria Chairs the Public Safety Committee, serves on the Environment Committee and Energy & Technology Committee. She previously served as Vice Chair of the Appropriations Committee. All this since coming into office in 2018!

All three women work for Women’s Rights, small businesses, the environment, Voting Rights, Affordable Housing, Gun sense Legislation, 1st Responders, Veterans and Social Security & Medicare. All three have worked on both sides of the aisle to promote bipartisanship.

I admire all three women immensely. Everything is on the line this year. I strongly encourage each of you to join me in voting for the entire Democratic slate of strong, qualified people who care about us!

Sincerely,

Mary T. Weber
