Joe Jaumann makes it official in this photo contributed from his campaign.
Joe Jaumann formally announced his run for state representative of the 104th District March 6 at the site of Farrel Pomini’s new building at the Fountain Lake Industrial Park in Ansonia.
“We are at Fountain Lake, because from this vantage point we have a view of much of the 104th district which includes Derby and Ansonia and because this site is representative of what can happen when a municipality works with private development and when you incentivize economic development,” Jaumann said.
In a prepared statement, Jaumann said Farrel-Pomini was ready to leave Ansonia until elected officials stepped in to save the day.
“To lose them would have been devastating. Ansonia fought to keep them and to retain valuable jobs. That was done through the swift actions of elected officials and I was proud to be a part of that,” Jaumann said.
The candidate vowed to create partnerships and incentives to retain and grow jobs at the state level, too.
“We are in desperate shape in Connecticut and we need decisive leaders who are willing to move swiftly to help our taxpayers,” Jaumann said.
