We are so excited that Bill Heughins is running for State Representative in the 43rd District (Stonington/Pawcatuck, North Stonington, and Ledyard)! Visit https://billforct.com/ to show your support!
Bill has spent nearly three decades in our local schools as a teacher, coach, and mentor. He understands our community because he has been serving it for years.
One of the first goals of this campaign is to qualify for Connecticut’s Citizens’ Election Program. This is our state’s public financing system, created to reduce the influence of big money in politics.
Here is how it works. Bill must raise $6,700 from at least 150 donors, with contributions ranging from $5 to $340. Once he qualifies, he receives a public grant to fund the rest of the campaign. That means:
• No corporate PAC money
• No reliance on wealthy donors
• No constant fundraising calls for the rest of the race
• A campaign focused on voters, not special interests
A contribution of even $5 helps demonstrate broad community support and moves the campaign closer to qualifying. After that, Bill can spend his time talking to residents about schools, utility costs, fiscal responsibility, and the future of our towns, instead of dialing for dollars.
If you believe in clean elections and leadership that answers to constituents rather than big donors, please consider making a qualifying contribution.
