To the Editor:

A state representative has a responsibility to serve the whole community.

That’s why I am proud to support Tiffani McGinnis– the 18th House District deserves leadership
grounded in respect, inclusion, and accountability.

We need a representative who will work for the people who live here, not simply cater to the expectations of narrow-minded political allies rooted in running the government as a theocracy.

At a time when Connecticut communities are working to build a more welcoming and equitable future, it is troubling to see Republican Philip Tummescheit receive an endorsement from the Family Institute of Connecticut, a far-right group that opposes same-sex marriage and women’s reproductive rights, among other issues.

Endorsements reflect a candidate’s values and priorities.

Voters deserve to know whether those priorities include expanding opportunity and protecting individual rights or promoting an ideological agenda that divides neighbors and further marginalizes the most vulnerable among us.

I want a state representative who brings people together and stands up for everyone’s freedom and dignity.

That’s Tiffani McGinnis and that’s why I’m proud to support her.

If you live in the 18th District, I encourage you to vote for Tiffani on November 3rd.

Sincerely,
Megan Wallett
West Hartford
