Local Democrats Endorse
Candidates for State Senate and House Districts
Responsible. Respectful. Inclusive. These are words that describe Democratic Party endorsements for local state senate and house seats in 2022, neighbors who imagine better Greenwich, and a bright future. They are:
· Trevor Crow, candidate for the 36th Senatorial District
· Rachel Khanna, for the 149th House District
· Incumbent Steve Meskers, representing the 150th House District
· Hector Arzeno, for the 151st House District
Each brings extensive individual qualifications to their candidacy, but all share our Democratic values: preserving our democracy, governing with compassion, and a commitment to equality for all. This is vitally important to guaranteeing our rights and improving our unique community during these pivotal times.
They will deliver. “Helping constituents and nonprofits through the last two years has reaffirmed my commitment to serving others,” said Meskers, who is seeking a third term in office. “If elected, I will bring the full measure of my skills to bear as we seek to overcome the fiscal and social damage this pandemic has brought to our state.”
They will secure state investment in our community, and shoreline resiliency. “Our current representative continually votes against our values,” said Khanna, who is a former member of the Representative Town Meeting, a small business owner, and an author. “Through responsible investment in our state’s growth and protection of our shared values, our state can be a place of great opportunity for everyone.”
They are neighbors and believe we should act that way to each other, despite our differences. “Everyone deserves dignity and respect,” said Hector Arzeno, who serves on three RTM committees, local organizations and retired after 35 years as an international finance executive, “whether it is the right to live in a decent home, to go to school free from harassment and gun violence.”
They will defend reproductive freedom. “I will fight tooth and nail to defend this fundamental right,” said Crow, a career therapist who also has a Harvard MBA. “It is unconscionable that my daughters and granddaughter might have to limit where in America they live to be treated as equals in society.”
“And importantly, they are fiscally prudent,” said GTDC Chair Joe Angland, in announcing the endorsements. “Two of them are leaders in finance, and the other two small business owners. They will be voices for enhancing the state’s attractiveness to business and laser-focused on the needs of the town.”
Additional information will be updated periodically on the DTC’s website.
