LTE: Cristin McCarthy Vahey is for Smart Planning, Sustainable Solutions

Published in Fairfield Citizen 9/25/20

We enthusiastically support the reelection of Cristin McCarthy Vahey for state representative in the 133rd District. Cristin has been a dedicated supporter of smart planning to enable safe and healthy communities and economic development.

She supported the adoption of Fairfield’s Complete Streets Policy which helps the town address the needs of all users of our roads — pedestrians, transit riders, people of all abilities, bicyclists, as well as automobiles. She has introduced legislation at the state level which has resulted in the passage of laws which make our roads safer for all, including improvements for pedestrians trying to cross safely at intersections, and for proper, safer separation between motorists and pedestrians and bicyclists.

Lastly, Cristin has advocated for environmental issues which help our community and state become healthier and more economically viable. She works tirelessly for cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, and has actively backed efforts to support our natural environment.

We urge your support too, as she continues to advocate for our community.
