I’ll second everything SamAdams76 just said. I am in Redding, CT right next door (west). I think I’ll be geting my (R) state senator back in November.
If we overwhelm the Bridegport (D) fraud, we may finally get the (R) into the Governor’s office we all voted for last time (Bob Stepfanowski). We are ~ 50-60 miles west of Hartford on the NY border. Very beautiful country to live in, but I must confess when my wife and I retire we are headed to New Hampshire where the kids and grand babies live.
I lived in Richmond, VA back in school (VCU grad) and Fairfax when once employed by US Guv many years agp. Still love VA, especially now with Youngkin and double legislative chambers (R). You’ll miss that in CT.
