Will Gifford: Lowering Connecticut’s Cost of Living Every candidate says Connecticut costs too much. Democrats have run Hartford for years—so why haven’t they fixed it? My plan? Stop costly mandates, cap property taxes—eliminate them for seniors—and remove hidden electric bill charges. Hartford wants a program? Put it in the budget. I’m Will Gifford. I’ll represent the 8th in Hartford—not Hartford in the 8th.

My opponent keeps saying "experience matters." Here's 16 years of it. State Representative Tim Ackert has faithfully served the 8th District for the past sixteen years, and he trusts me to continue his fight. Thank you Tim, for standing up for Bolton, Coventry, Columbia, Lebanon and Tolland. One-party Hartford is going to keep hearing from the 8th! I'll represent the 8th in Hartford – not Hartford in the 8th. Early voting is open every day through November 1. Election Day is Tuesday, November

No college degree? Work with your hands? My opponent thinks that makes you less qualified to serve. His recent post put my tech school diploma and my small-engine repair work on a chart like they were strikes against me. The people who keep this district's cars running, it's lights on, and it's businesses open deserve a representative that respects the work that they do. I 'm from Columbia. These are my neighbors. I'll represent the 8th in Hartford — not Hartford in the 8th. Paid for by Giff

Democrats in Hartford have had years to fix Connecticut. Now they swear this time will be different. Sure. Electric bills, property taxes, gas taxes — the 8th has been Hartford's piggy bank long enough. Every family out here has had to tighten its budget. It's Hartford's turn. No state income tax on tips and overtime, so working families keep more of what they earn. Stop the unfunded mandates that drive up your property tax bill I'll represent the 8th in Hartford — not Hartford in the 8th.

You’ve been overtaxed for 8 straight years. Connecticut just finished its 8th straight budget surplus. The rainy day fund is the biggest in state history, and it’s full. This year, $500 million in taxpayer relief was on the table. The legislature said “No,” and decided to spend it instead. Meanwhile, the headlines keep coming about your money going places it shouldn’t. My rule is simple: if it’s worth funding, put it in the budget and vote for it. If it’s extra, give it back. You know what yo

My opponent came out with his plan for seniors who can't afford their skyrocketing property taxes: Move. I want to cut and eliminate property taxes for seniors - something my opponent claims "removes the natural incentive to downsize.” His answer? Waive the tax when you finally have to sell your home, and rezone our towns for denser housing so you can downsize into it. He wants you to leave. I want you to stay. I’ll represent the 8th in Hartford, not Hartford in the 8th.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
