Dear Friends and Neighbors:

It has truly been an honor serving as your State Representative for the last six years and I want to thank all the voters for giving me the opportunity to work for you for the next two years. In my capacity as a legislator and while campaigning, I have learned a great deal about you and your goals for the community and Connecticut.  By listening to your concerns and life experiences and working together, we will achieve these goals and fulfill our hopes and dreams.  Whether it is providing more affordable and accessible healthcare, stabilizing the costs of energy, creating a positive business environment, protecting our environment or aiding individuals attempting to make ends meet, I will be there for you. 

The outstanding support I received during the campaign has been a source of inspiration for me.  Everyday I am encouraged by the knowledge and passion the people of the 35th District demonstrate towards the issues and our towns.  You care about our towns as much as I do and this motivates me to work even harder for you.  Raised in the district, I understand the pride you have in our area.  Our district is a special one, and I know all of you deserve the very best from your representative. 

Again, I would like to thank the voters, my opponent, Darlene Jones, for her willingness to serve and for making me a better candidate, the Democratic Town Committee members of Clinton, Killingworth and Westbrook, all of my volunteers for their countless hours of help and for being with me every step of the way.  Without this support, victory would not have been possible.  I look forward to serving you in Hartford and in the district.

Sincerely,
                        
Brian O'Connor, State Representative
35th House District
