  • The seniors, families, and workers of our community aren't asking for miracles; they just want to be able to put food on the table. Getting ahead has never been this hard.

  • My opponent had a chance to deliver property tax relief for families, workers, and seniors in Eastern Connecticut. He didn’t just fail—he *chose* not to help by voting no. Hartford has changed Steve Weir. I’m running to change Hartford. I’ll fight to lower property taxes, take on rising utility costs, and make sure towns like ours get their fair share from the state.

  • Hartford has changed Steve Weir. Ellen Paul is running to change Hartford. Because Eastern Connecticut deserves someone fighting for us—not for the political bosses. Ellen will fight to lower the cost of living for Eastern Connecticut families, from property taxes and housing to the everyday costs of raising a family. And she'll stand up for strong public schools and communities where working families can afford to build a future.
