To the Editor:

Cast your vote for Derek Slap on November 8^th for State Representative in the 19^th District. I know Derek to be a creative and pragmatic problem solver, honest broker and thoroughly decent human being. Immediately after gaining the nomination in May, Derek spent hours every day over the last 5 months knocking doors to meet and listen to voters. That level of hard work and dedication is a preview to Derek’s future tireless advocacy for you.

As former Chief of Staff to the Senate Democrats, Derek knows how to get things done in the state house and has actual experience working with colleagues across the aisle. Coupled with Derek’s background and work ethic is a winning and unflappable personality.

You can count on Derek to be strong on schools, smart on the budget and forward thinking in advancing the economy of our state.

On November 8^th, vote enthusiastically for Derek Slap.

Tim Brennan
Former Deputy Mayor, West Hartford
