Our state is too expensive. Taxes, fees, and the rising cost of living are straining everyone’s finances. Citizens are seeing their state change before their eyes, with communities facing growing concerns about property crime and, unfortunately, even brazen criminal activity. It’s time for a change.
I’m Joe Canino, and I’m running to be YOUR state representative because I want to improve our quality of life here in Connecticut and make our state more affordable:
- Oppose tax increases
- Support small businesses to grow our local economy
- Develop state strategy to address high energy rates
- Pursue policies that hold criminals accountable
- Prevent state mandates that affect local property taxes
- Eliminate state tax on trucks that affects grocery prices
- Block efforts to mandate electric vehicles
