Dear We-Ha Editor:

I am proud to endorse DEREK SLAP for the 19th District’s State Representative.

I have known Derek for over 10 years and I am confident that he will be an excellent successor to Brian Becker who did not seek re-election to the seat.

Like Brian Becker, Derek asks the tough questions and works hard to become knowledgeable about state policy matters. Also like Becker, he will fight hard for individual constituents and our town. Already,Derek has weighed in on the continuing saga of the MDC which is in desperate need of more public oversight and transparency given its incredibly poor decisions of late. Because of Derek’s prior legislative experience with the State Senate, he will be able to move needed MDC reforms through the House and Senate and into law.

On November 8th, vote for DEREK SLAP for thoughtful, responsive leadership.

former Deputy House Speaker and State Representative for West Hartford/20th District
