To the Editor:
Human rights attorney Dave Rubino is challenging Devin Carney for the House of Representatives seat in the 23rd District. Dave’s position on many social issues differs markedly from Devin’s. As indicated on Dave’s campaign website, he supports:
- criminal justice reform;
- a strong social safety net;
- adequate paid family and medical leave; and
- a reasonable living wage.
On the other hand, Devin voted AGAINST the following bills in the Connecticut General Assembly:
- 2020–HB 6004, An Act Concerning Police Accountability;
- 2019–SB 380, An Act Concerning the Use of Force and Pursuits by Police and Increasing Police Accountability and Transparency;
- 2019—SB 1, An Act Concerning Paid Family and Medical Leave;
- 2019—HB 5004, An Act increasing the Minimum Fair Wage; and
- 2018—HB 5460, An Act Concerning Minimum Employee Wages for Providers of State-Administered Services for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities.
Please consider carefully which candidate’s positions more align with your own when you vote on November 3.
Sincerely,
Betsy Groth,
Old Lyme.
