Derby Mayor Rich Dziekan, Joseph Jaumann, Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti
Republicans on Wednesday (May 16) evening unanimously endorsed local Attorney and Ansonia Alderman Joseph Jaumann as their candidate for the 104th District House Seat.
“I am humbled and honored to have the support of everyone here tonight, and I look forward to spending the summer and fall talking to as many people in our district as I can about the issues facing Connecticut and the Valley area,” Jaumann said to delegates during the party convention held at Copper City Bar and Grill.
“Connecticut is at a crossroads — we can’t afford another two years of failed policies that have resulted in lost businesses and jobs. I’m eager to fight for on behalf of all residents – Republicans, Democrats and Unaffiliateds – to reverse the course our state is on,” he said.
The district covers Ansonia and Derby, an area that has seen Joseph Jaumann serve in various volunteer roles over the years, from his position in local government to his volunteer work as an Ansonia Little League coach.
Jaumann said he is eager to join resurgent House Republicans in the General Assembly where, during the two legislative sessions, they maintained a laser focus on the state’s budgetary troubles while offering alternatives to radical revenue-raising concepts floated by Democrats.
“Joe Jaumann will be a true advocate for the Valley,” said Ansonia Mayor David S. Cassetti. “Joe is a staunch supporter of economic revitalization and someone who realizes that our residents can’t afford new taxes on their cell phones, tires or trips to local restaurants,” Cassetti said. “We need leaders in Hartford who are willing to look beyond tax hikes as the first and last solution to our state’s problems.”
“Ansonia and Derby need elected representatives willing to fight for deep structural change,” said Derby Mayor Richard Dziekan. “Joseph Jaumann is committed to Connecticut and for the betterment of our residents.”
