Daniel Davis Qualifies for Campaign Grant

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Daniel Davis for the 26th

NEW BRITAIN – Yesterday, the State Elections Enforcement Commission approved Daniel Davis’s application for a public grant from the Citizen’s Election Program for the election in New Britain’s 26th Assembly District.

The CEP required Davis to raise $5,000 in small contributions and have at last 140 donors that reside within New Britain. The approval of the application means that Davis’s campaign will receive a grant of $26, 850.

“I’m truly overwhelmed by the support I’ve received and I’m encouraged that so many people want me to run for the seat,” Davis said. “As I meet with the district residents and listen to their concerns, it’s clear that they are not happy with the way state government is operating and they believe I would serve as an effective, new agent of change. Our residents worry everyday that they will be hit with another tax increase from Hartford that they cannot afford. They need someone who will represent the people of the 26th district advocating on their behalf. I am that person.”

“Residents need a principled and compassionate elected official who will do what it takes 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,” Davis added.

Davis is a 26 year old resident of New Britain.

Election Day is Tuesday November 6th. Please remember that polling locations have changed this year. To find out where vote please visit: http://www.dir.ct.gov/sots/LookUp.aspx

  5. How can Republicans win in New Britain when their Democratic opponents get their names on the ballot twice, many of their supporters vote twice,
    some vote more than twice, others don't live in New Britain but vote here, and still others reside and vote here but are no longer living.

  7. Too bad you communists here in Connecticut can vote for Obama all you want, it is not going to get him re-elected against the majority of Americans. Gallup has Romney leading by 7 points in the 11 swing states. Looks like your candidate is falling like a brick!

  8. Municipal-debt watchdog Fitch Ratings lowered its rating on New Britain's outstanding bonds, citing the city's poverty and unemployment that make it difficult for it to collect enough to finance its high debt burden.

    Fitch said it lowered to 'A+' from 'AA-' its rating on New Britain's $74.7 million in outstanding general obligation (GO) bonds.

    It also lowered its ratings outlook for the city to negative from stable.

    The downgrade and negative outlook could make it more expensive for New Britain to borrow to finance such things as roads, schools and other municipal projects.

    Fitch said the one-notch downgrade was the result of the city's general fund structural imbalance that has relied upon one-time revenues to support the city's operations the last three years.

    It also cited New Britain's continued reliance on state funding to provide services to its residents, including education, which Fitch said, "has been very volatile.''

    On the plus side, Fitch said the city's pensions are well funded and other post-employment benefits, such as health care, are manageable.
