A Message From Gail Lavielle – State Representative-Elect, 143rd Assembly district
I want to thank my fellow residents of the 143rd district in Wilton and Norwalk for honoring me with your vote on November 2. I’m deeply moved by this demonstration of your confidence, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am very grateful to all of the friends and supporters who committed so much time and energy to making our campaign a success. And I have been very fortunate to have the strong support of my husband and my family throughout this very long election season.
I also thank Peggy Reeves for her service as our State Representative and wish her the best for the remainder of her term and for the future.
I feel exceedingly privileged to have met with so many people in our district during the past few months, and I sincerely appreciate your openness and your willingness to discuss what really matters to you. You have taken the time to share with me your concerns, your hopes, your fears, and your aspirations for the future, and there is nothing more important that I will take to Hartford when I begin my work there on your behalf. I will continue actively to seek your input so that I may faithfully represent you and ensure that your voice is heard.
I look forward to working for you as your State Representative, to recreate an environment in Connecticut where businesses can grow, families can prosper, and people can achieve ever greater things.

Last May, the Senate chair of the Appropriations Committee was asked during a floor debate why the state’s impending deficits of more than $3 billion per year weren’t being addressed. Her answer: “We are hoping for an immediate and abrupt turnaround in the economy.” Hope is not a financial strategy. Read Gail's op-ed from The Hour in the Issues section.
The NFIB, the nation’s leading small business association, has endorsed Gail Lavielle’s candidacy for State Representative, because she “will be committed to the needs of thousands of Main Street small businesses and their employees in Connecticut.”
CBIA, the CT Business and Industry Association, has endorsed Gail because, "She will take steps to create fiscal policies that move the state in the right direction, welcome businesses, and create jobs. She knows our future depends on it."
