“Growing up underprivileged in working class neighborhoods, he became a college graduate, launched a successful career, and for the past 10 years has been raising a family in Glastonbury with a focus on serving the Glastonbury community. These life experiences have shaped his democratic values, strong work ethic, and the desire to serve the needs of residents from all walks of life and across our community.”
(Candidate statement) “Public dollars belong in public schools. Nearby towns like Manchester and East Hartford received millions more than Glastonbury in education funding last year. Moise will fight for funding so every child in our district has access to a quality education, from the classroom to the playing field.”
(Candidate statement) “Glastonbury families already pay high property taxes to support our great schools and the town services we all rely on. And right now, the squeeze is being felt everywhere: gas, groceries, housing, electric bills. Moise will fight for more state funding to lower our property tax burden, expand tax credits, and deliver real relief for the working families and retirees who need it most.”
