Vote Today!

Even if you vote for only one person or topic on the ballot, please go vote today.

When Chris Murphy spoke at the WOW center on April 17, he tossed out a few factoids: 20% of twenty-year-olds vote; 80% of eighty-year-olds vote; and there is seven times as much federal money spent on eighty-year-olds as there is on 20-year-olds. You know what that means? That means if you don't vote, the politicians will ignore you.

You may not like any of the candidates. You may not think that any of them represent your concerns. But the only way you will ever get candidates who represent you and care about your issues is to vote.

Remind your family to vote. Remind your neighbors to vote. It's important.

If you're not sure where to go, call the Registrar of Voters, (203) 574-6751, or any of the campaign headquarters in Waterbury (just check the flyers you got in the mail for their numbers).
