Campaign site

“Communities are safer when law enforcement and first responders have resources, support, and accountability to local residents. Guy supports our Police, Fire, and Medical teams and opposes Democrat policies that have demoralized departments and left neighborhoods less secure. Communities are also safer when responsible gun ownership is high. Guy supports the Second Amendment and will oppose any nonsense gun regulation.” (Candidate statement)
“Our state is beautiful, and we should keep it that way. But "Fake Green" legislation punishes farmers and homeowners without delivering real environmental benefit. Guy supports genuine, community-led conservation, not sweeping bans designed for political gain. Guy will work on legislation that incentivizes truly green movements, not force it.” (Candidate statement)
“Our state is headed in the wrong direction, and this district needs to be heard and supported in Hartford. We need to preserve our unique, small town, community character, and have a stronger voice for those struggling.” (Candidate statement)
