While the rest of the nation was watching the final Presidential debate, we in the Fightin’ Fifth had a debate of our own. Yesterday’s debate was the first time the people of the Fifth District were able to hear for themselves the plans Chris Murphy and his opponent have for the our district. Chris spent the debate outlining the problems he sees facing the Fifth District, and how he plans on solving them.
For me, the debate once again reminded me of what is at stake for the Fifth District. In less than three weeks, we will go to the polls to re-elect Chris. As Chris stated in closing remarks, “This time is a serious time and we need real solutions.” He is absolutely right; we need real policy solutions, and Chris Murphy has shown time and time again that he is the candidate who is capable of putting politics aside and accurately addressing the needs of his constituents.
