To the Editor:
As the former superintendent of schools in Westbrook, there have been many times over the last few years when I have contacted State Representative Marilyn Giuliano to get information about proposed bills, seek her assistance with a problem, or explain how our schools or community will be affected by proposed legislation. Without fail, Marilyn responded personally and took the time to understand my viewpoint. Whether by email, phone, or in person, Marilyn followed through with the information I needed.
Knowledgeable, approachable, and energetic, this lady is everywhere! Westbrook is a small portion of Connecticut House District 23, yet Marilyn Giuliano is unbelievably attentive to her Westbrook constituents, responding to requests to speak, honoring the service of members of our community, attending meetings, and representing our concerns in Hartford.
Marilyn does her homework. I know she spent many hours talking to educational colleagues and fellow legislators on the education committee before voting on the education reform bill. Mrs. Giuliano met with parents, students and community members, and held public forums to gain input. She asks good questions and tells you where she stands on the issues.
Marilyn Giuliano is someone you can put on your “go-to list” when you need a voice in Hartford. I support her candidacy and the honorable work she does on behalf of Westbrook, Old Saybrook, Lyme and Old Lyme.
Sincerely,
Patricia Charles
Westbrook
