The Republican and Independent Party Endorsed Candidate
We must seek long-term structural changes to the State’s budget. Democratic leadership continuously avoids its fiscal responsibilities for the sake of its own interests. Chris will work tirelessly to develop a budget that puts State spending in check, stops costly tax increases and focuses on our communities. The interests of the people and the Farmington community must be put before the interests of our bureaucracy.
A healthy economy thrives when government stays out of the way. We have seen Democratic leadership continuously impose regulations and pass the two largest tax increases in State history. As a result, we are losing population and we are losing businesses to other States. CT is not a monopoly; it is in a competitive environment. We must reduce government’s financial burdens on Farmington residents and their businesses. Chris believes that if we create a culture of independence in CT then businesses will reinvest in jobs and our communities and our economy will thrive.
Chris believes strongly in funding for education and independent school districts. Democratic leadership has continuously imposed unfunded mandates on local districts and has drastically cut funding to districts such as Farmington. In addition, it has raided higher education funds, composed of student tuition dollars, to cover its failure to balance the State budget. We must restore education as a priority. Chris believes that an investment in education is an investment in the economy and jobs. We must give education systems the tools to control their own costs and we must restore vital funding to our education systems.
As Farmington Town Council Chair, I'm proud to endorse Chris Forster's candidacy for state rep. Chris possesses the sound fiscal policy, public administration skills and finance experience to fight out-of-control spending and high taxes for which Connecticut has become infamous. I hope you'll join me in supporting him this November at the polls.

After suffering through the last two budget cycles, it is obvious that our representatives in Hartford have failed the citizens of our state and community. It is time to send a representative to Hartford whose training and professional experience is in financial matters. Chris Forster has a skill set that will bring tremendous value to the state and the Town of Farmington.
Mike Clark
Former Town Council Chairman

As an elementary school parent and past Board of Education member, I am glad to see a candidate with significant state-level education experience. Chris's work with higher education in Connecticut will enable him to not only fight for Farmington's education funding, but to push for the common-sense, structural change we need for reliable, solvent programs.

Chris is the type of leader businesses can count on to fight out-of-control taxation.
