To the Editor,
In 2022, when I ran against Ryan Fazio for State Senate, I made it clear that his votes were out of step with the values of our community. I warned that his opposition to common sense gun safety laws and his stance on women’s rights would have serious consequences.
Unfortunately, my concerns have been proven right. Fazio’s continued opposition to critical legislation, like Connecticut’s updated gun control measures and expansion of reproductive rights, is a reminder of how out of touch he is with the needs and values of our district.
That is why I am proud to support Nick Simmons in his campaign for the 36th District Senate seat. Nick has the experience and the vision we need in Hartford. He’s been in the room with Governor Lamont, working on the very issues that matter most to us—economic development, safety, and personal freedoms. He’s not just committed to making Connecticut a better place; he’s already done the work.
While Fazio voted against gun control laws that would make our streets and schools safer, Nick was part of the Lamont administration which signed these life-saving measures into law.
We need a leader who will fight for all of us, and I believe Nick Simmons is that leader. Let’s elect someone who will truly represent our values in Hartford.
Sincerely, Trevor Crow
Former Democratic Candidate for State Senate
