Friends,

Do you remember where you were in 2008? Jim Himes was at the Congress Street Bridge… and made a *promise 14 years ago* ( [link removed] ) to fix that bridge. His promise has still not been fulfilled. As I stood and looked out across the river to the East Side of Bridgeport, I couldn’t help but think how this is a stark reminder of WHY I am running. With infrastructure needs, congested highways and public housing crumbling before our very eyes, my opponent pledges funding without shepherding these projects to become a reality for our residents of Southwestern Connecticut. He stays in Washington as our part of the state suffers. During my years of public service on a local, regional and state level, I worked collaboratively to problem solve CT’s most pressing issues. I truly understand the needs and impacts at the most local level.  As your Congresswoman, I will never make a pledge or promise to you without seeing it through to the finish line.

It was announced yesterday that after 25 years of a broken bridge, the City of Bridgeport was finally issued a permit to proceed with replacing the Congress Street Bridge. If my campaign's highlighting of this issue helped to spur state action, I am very pleased. The repair will be an important win for Bridgeport.

The Congress Street Bridge, like so many other concerns in Connecticut, can be fixed. I will be your CHAMPION in Washington, and I will ensure DC works for us. For me, there is no other reason to be in Washington except to help Connecticut families, businesses, and communities, and to ensure a vibrant and safe future for our state and our nation.

Today, we are closer to victory than ever. With LESS THAN THREE WEEKS TO GO, we need YOUR help. *Join #TeamJayme and sign up for our* *newsletters* ( [link removed] ) *,* *donate* ( [link removed] ) *, or* *volunteer* ( [link removed] ) *!*

I look forward to building a working bridge to Congress that serves all of Connecticut.

Thank you for your support.
