Dear Editor,

As a State Representative candidate, Anastasia Yopp would stand for the people she serves in a valuable way. I have known this woman though the entire pandemic and was referred to her from one of my clients whom I trust. She had a professional attitude with me the entire time and was well spoken and good natured on the phone while she processed applications for me. She was engaged to respond to my emails and questions every time I reached out. She even gave me service before I asked. That is what I admired most about her, in a time I needed a response, no matter what the response was, she answered ahead. People just want to be listened to and heard. She remained positive through the year I worked with her and she reassured me as well.

I would trust Anastasia Yopp to create and vote on bills that make new laws or modify as well as update old laws because I know she has the analytical skills and she cares about a person's needs. I welcome people into my life who are engaged in a way that they are extroverted enough but also willing to listen and adjust. I witnessed that she has the skills to represent all people no matter what background or profession. She has shown me that she is a leader and a person who works with teams and for the people.

From the business dealings I have experienced, I appreciated her communication and interpersonal skills to the point that I wanted to stay in touch beyond the transaction. We are both leaders and for teams. | do relate to her life even though we are truly two unique different people. I admire a woman who has the courage to be endearing and honest. She seems to rally for what is truly right in our society and wants to continue to do better in life for herself and her child. We as business people and as citizens want someone to represent us. I feel, Anastasia can represent my good beliefs and challenge some beliefs that may not be perfect. I give her my true blessing that she is chosen to serve Connecticut in a way to better our community I love dearly. Please take my referral for Anastasia Yopp and know I highly recommend her to grow and help Connecticut to make us all stronger.

Sincerely,
