Letter: 'In Support Of Ceci Maher'

Dear Neighbors,

There was another mass shooting today. Maybe you didn’t even hear about it. As I write this, there have been 562 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. That’s almost two a day. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists guns as the leading cause of death among children and teens.

Ceci Maher, candidate for State Senate, has been endorsed by CT Against Gun Violence and was named a 2022 Moms Demand Action "Gun Sense Candidate", recognizing her willingness to stand up for gun safety measures. She was also the Executive Director of Sandy Hook Promise, whose mission was “protecting America’s children from gun violence in honor of the precious lives that were lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School.” She understands what is at stake.

Ceci Maher is also a social worker, endorsed by the National Association of Social Workers. She recognizes the importance of mental health services, but that they and education alone will not end gun violence. She is committed to sensible legislation that limits the bulk purchase of firearms, and for increased safe storage requirements, and to close the loopholes in current gun safety laws.

Please join me in voting for Ceci Maher for State Senate on Tuesday, November 8th, along with the other candidates on Row “A”. Connecticut’s assault weapon ban and high capacity magazine laws have been challenged in Court, and we need people in Hartford, like Ceci Maher, who are committed to protecting us.

Respectfully yours,
