Today might be about some good-natured frights, but there are some truly scary facts about next week’s municipal elections that are keeping us up at night. Here’s the frightening truth: -
Only 30% of us showed up to vote statewide in the last municipal election in 2021.
-
Republicans wrested the top elected post from Democrats in 16 cities and towns in that election, despite the fact that Democrats held every statewide and congressional seat.
-
Republicans now control 58% of our local governing bodies in a state that’s overwhelmingly blue.
-
Republicans in Connecticut are part of the same extreme national movement that is banning books, restricting reproductive rights, gutting healthcare and Social Security, and threatening the right to vote.
Scared yet? Don’t be. You have the power to make sure every city and town across the state reflects our shared Democratic values. Cast your vote for Democratic leaders on Nov. 7th that care about the same things you do—the freedom of choice and the education, health, and safety of our local communities.
It all starts with your vote one week from today.
So don’t ghost this municipal election cycle! Give what you can to help us in the final week of the election, and be sure to get out there and vote on November 7th! Wishing you a BOO-tiful Halloween! Chris Pitts
