2ND DISTRICT STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR BETHEL, DANBURY AND REDDING

Jason hears you and delivers!

Jason's Record Speaks for Itself

The General Assembly will face many economic issues in 2009, including, job growth, health care, taxes, work force, and energy issues. I have the experience and record to lead on these issues.  We need experienced leadership to guide us through these tough times and I am asking for your support on Nov. 4.   

As your state representative, I voted against taxes on homeowners, brought historic increases in property tax relief, brought relief for energy bills, sought to grow economic development, and supported allowing small business owners to pool their resources to buy into the state healthcare plan.

In their endorsement of Representative Bartlett, the CTLCV highlighted the importance of Representative Bartlett, stating, “We appreciate the time you have devoted to clean air, water, wildlife, open space and energy issues in Connecticut…. As you know, CTLCV is a statewide bi-partisan organization that monitors environmental legislation at the State Capitol, and tracks voting records of legislators on important environmental policy.   We have endorsed you because we believe your constituents will be well served by your continued strong leadership to make environmental issues a priority.”       

After learning of the endorsement, Representative Bartlett declared “as my constituents know, I have worked tirelessly on the issues of conservation and the environment, preserving open space in the district, including Bogus Farm and Terre Haute.  I successfully supported legislation for electronic recycling, capping global warming emissions and limiting toxins in toys.  I am proud of my record on these issues and pleased by the endorsement of the CTLCV, I promise I will continue to work hard to preserve the environment and open space in our district and in the state of Connecticut.”
