Bob Stefanowski is too extreme for Connecticut. He has an ‘A’ rating from the NRA and opposed common sense legislation passed in the wake of Sandy Hook.

When it comes to working families, he opposes having a minimum wage altogether, and when asked to grade Donald Trump as President, he gave him an ‘A’ and called Trump’s endorsement of his candidacy ‘pretty cool.’

Governor Lamont and Connecticut Democrats have accomplished so much over the past several years — fixing the state budget, enacting the most robust paid family and medical leave program in the country, raising the minimum wage to $15/hour, supporting small businesses, building up a record rainy day fund — all without tax increases.

Stefanowski’s economic plan for our state would have devastated schools, rolled back health care, and laid off health care workers. Donate now to help us mobilize Democrats across Connecticut this year to stop Stefanowski’s extreme agenda. [[link removed]]

If you don’t remember Stefanowski’s disastrous 2018 campaign, here are some other facts about Bob:

*
Bob
Stefanowski
was
a
top
executive
at
a
payday
loan
company,
which
charged
low-income
consumers
interest
rates
so
high
that
the
practice
is
illegal
in
Connecticut.
His
business
was
specifically
designed
to
trap
economically
vulnerable
people
in
a
vicious
cycle
of
debt
and
poverty
—
so
that
he
could
profit.
*
*
Bob
Stefanowski’s
sole
economic
plan
for
our
state
—
to
eliminate
the
income
tax
—
was
a
scheme
to
benefit
the
very
top
at
the
expense
of
the
middle
class.
It
would
have
given
just
the
wealthiest
400
families
in
Connecticut,
just
0.025%
of
the
state,
more
than
$1.3
billion
in
tax
breaks
annually,
while
slashing
dollars
for
schools,
rolling
back
health
care,
and
cutting
basic
services.
*
*
Because
Stefanowski
wanted
to
cut
town
aid
altogether,
his
economic
plan
would
raise
property
taxes
in
all
169
Connecticut
towns
—
in
some
cases,
local
taxes
would
more
than
double.
*
*
In
2018,
when
asked
about
his
views
on
school
immunizations
and
vaccinations
for
diseases
like
polio
and
the
measles,
he
immediately
adopted
anti-vaccine
talking
points.
*
*
Bob
Stefanowski
has
said
the
Affordable
Care
Act
didn’t
help
Connecticut,
even
though
the
ACA
has
helped
deliver
health
coverage
to
people
across
our
state
who
need
it
most.
In
many
cases,
ACA
plans
have
zero
premiums,
thanks
to
state
and
federal
Democrats.
*
*
And
when
asked
about
climate
change,
he
said
that
he
didn’t
“understand
the
science
of
it”
and
that
it
was
a
federal
issue,
even
though
it’s
one
of
the
most
urgent
issues
facing
our
state.

Governor Lamont has brought us strong, steady leadership at a time when Connecticut needs it most. He’s done it by bringing people together, and that’s exactly how we will move forward — together. Donate now to join this fight. [[link removed]]
