Letter: Klinck Announces Candidacy for 33rd Senate

Mary Ellen Klinck of East Haddam will seek the Democratic nomination for the State Senate race in the 33rd district.

 

Dear Friends,

After decades of public service at the state and local levels, I am a Democratic candidate for State Senator in the 33rd district. I served eight years as Commissioner of the State Department on Aging, advocating for the rights of the elderly and disabled. I am a life-long Democrat, served as an East Haddam Selectman and for many years as a Democratic Town Chairperson and 33rd District State Central Committee Woman.

As a successful business woman, owner of a restaurant, an insurance agency and a real estate office, I created jobs for hundreds of people. I understand small and medium business growth is needed to reduce Connecticut’s unemployment and boost the economy. The rights of the disenfranchised, along with those of the veterans, teachers and children, have always been my priority. 

Residents of the 33rd district know they live in a magical place, and I am committed to protecting our environment, economy and quality of life.
