Peter Steele Qualifies for Campaign Grant
NEW BRITAIN – Today the State Elections Enforcement Commission approved Peter Steele’s application for a public grant from the Citizen’s Election Program for the special election of the 24th General Assembly District.
The CEP required Steele to raise $3,750 in small contributions and have at last 113 donors that reside within New Britain and Newington. The approval of the application means that Steele’s campaign will receive a grant of $19,500. Steele’s report submitted more than 140 individual donations totaling over $3,900.
“I’m happy with the overwhelming support I’ve received and I’m encouraged that so many people want me to run for the seat,” Steele said. “As I meet with the district residents and listen to their concerns, it’s clear that we have to change the way the state government is operating. New Britain and Newington residents worry everyday that they will be hit with another tax bill from Hartford. People can’t afford it they are fed up, and so am I.”
“Residents need an experienced job-creator, like myself, to help bring jobs back to Connecticut and get our state working again. I will bring common sense and balance back to the Connecticut Legislature,” Steele added.
Steele is a 62 year old lifelong resident of New Britain; he is a US Army veteran having served our country in Vietnam. In addition to being a real estate agent, Pete worked for eight years under former New Britain Mayor, Timothy Stewart, as his executive aide. He has also served on numerous boards and commissions within the city including Chairman of NB Housing Authority, board member of NB HRA, member of NB Parks and Recreation commission, and former president of PAL board of directors.
The Special Election is scheduled for Tuesday January 10th.
