  • Finding common ground starts with listening to both sides. I’ve spent my career bringing people together and working toward an agreement. I’m running for State Senate to bring that same approach to Hartford, restore balance, and tackle challenges like the high cost of living. #JoeKellyForSenate #CommonGround #CommonSense #CTPolitics #CT36

  • I’ve spent years doing the work right here in our community. Supporting our schools through the pandemic. Sitting through hundreds of meetings. Helping move projects forward. That experience matters. I’m ready to bring it to Hartford and deliver results for the 36th District. #JoeKellyForSenate #ProvenExperience #RealResults #CommunityFirst #CT36

  • Making Connecticut more affordable is one of the reasons I’m running for State Senate. I want to lower your taxes and electric bills so you can keep more of what you earn. I’m also running to protect local control over zoning and bring greater fiscal responsibility to Hartford. Decisions about our communities should stay local, and your tax dollars should be spent responsibly. These are the priorities I’ll fight for as your State Senator. #JoeKellyForSenate #Connecticut #Affordability #LocalC

  • Connecticut deserves better. From the high cost of living to overdevelopment, we have real challenges to solve. The extremes on either side aren’t helping. I’m running for State Senate to bring people together and focus on practical solutions. Let’s get to work. #JoeKellyForSenate #Connecticut #CTPolitics #StateSenate #CommunityFirst

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.
