Tim Herbst has met with us on several occasions and listened to our concerns about a broken system of evictions and Fair Housing Investigations among other issues. He has pledged his support to make CT more friendly to property owners and tax-payers; we believe he can do this! Tim Herbst is bold, bright and strong and that’s the kind of leader we’ve not seen in the CT Governor’s mansion in a long time. We need to downsize our government and make the most out of taxpayer dollars and we think Tim’s the right guy to get the job done.

If Joe Ganim’s felony conviction was for something other than corruption, we could consider his leadership and remarkable support from the Bridgeport residents, but he was convicted of corruption and CT would be the laughing stock of the nation if we elected a corrupt felon into high office. Ned Lamont, is a tax and spend liberal that has no relevant street level experience and won’t relate to the beleaguered urban property owners. He’s an out of touch millionaire with nothing in common with 99% of CT’s residents.

Senator Markley is one of those Legislators that went the extra step and always was willing to work with CTPOA. He was one of the few Legislators that helped get a Program Review and Investigation study exposing the one-sided nature of Fair Housing discrimination complaints, a process that still must be fixed. We also think Joe will serve the State’s checkbook and finances well and help guide Connecticut back into prosperity. Joe has been in communication with CTPOA for years and at times would seek out our counsel on issues, a relationship we would want to see continue.

Hard work, intelligence and solid conservative principles make Ruby the choice in this race. She is a true success story growing up as an immigrant child overcoming obstacles along the way to becoming a respected college professor. Ruby is a fighter and draws from a wealth of real life experiences to help guide her decisions. As a Latino and a leader on the Commission of Equality and Opportunity, Ruby brings a conservative perspective into this important area of discussion.

Ruby is also married to State Representative Arthur O’Neil who was recognized by CTPOA in 2016 for his lifetime of effort supporting property owners. We believe Ruby will be a hard working Congresswoman that will help residents in the residents in the 5^th Congressional district and we also believe she can help us with property owner issues in Washington.

Jahana Hayes is an intelligent community minded individual that achieved national recognition by becoming the teacher of the year. She has been active in helping organizations such as the Front Porch Initiative achieve its goals and was a tremendous and active volunteer for that group.

Her primary opponent, Mary Glassman is a self-proclaimed Progressive Democrat that wants to repeal the recent tax-cuts and redistribute your wealth and expand safety net programs to the point where they are no longer safety nets, but a stress free way to live. We don’t need more tax and spend liberals in Washington. We believe that Jahana will make her own decisions and not become a party puppet of the radical-left if elected.

Senator Doyle has a long history of supporting landlords. While he was a State Representative he worked to pass eviction reform in 1997 and 1999 improving a system that was far worse for property owners than it is today. Our endorsement for Paul is not only based on his long-term efforts helping landlords . We need a pro-business Attorney General in the this powerful position as CT has suffered enough from a general anti-business attitude long enough.

Susan is a former State Prosecutor that says under her leadership, she will make the Attorney General’s office, “More pro-business,” words that are long overdue as we have suffered from years of attacks on business forcing many to decide to pack up and leave. In May, The Connecticut Mirror quoted Susan as saying, “My office will be a fierce advocate for state taxpayers. My team will be laser-focused on state contracts and bond packages to root out waste and fraud.”This is exactly what we need to be doing to make CT competitive again and eventually lower taxes.
