Dear Editor,
Gayle Slossberg needs no introduction or endorsement from me. For those in the community who know her work, it stands as simple testimony to a woman who has walked her talk well before her first election and has never needed to look back.
Anyone privy to her platform, promises and delivery over the years can plainly see that she has done the due diligence necessary to make her a responsible, articulate and beloved legislator. That’s something quite rare these days. However, Gayle is the real deal. She has focused on what it takes to keep Connecticut working and producing.
Gayle spent countless personal hours promoting health, welfare and education for all our kids and has never taken a break. Mrs. Slossberg is a role-model legislator; the kind you want your kids to emulate and respect. As a retired Principal from Platt Tech, I have seen first-hand the quality of her commitment and the depths of her heart.
Gayle helped turn our school’s Manufacturing Department into one of the state’s foremost training and educational facilities with grit and determination like I have never seen. When my daughter suffered near fatal injuries at the hands of a stalker, she gave our family more than a shoulder to cry on, but a true piece of her soul. I will not ever forget and neither should any constituent who has been touched by this lady’s class and style.
If there was ever a reason to re-elect a Connecticut State Senator the logic is really simple; Gayle has never seen this as only a job, but a calling to public service. I can stand, along with many, in witness to that fact. We are all fortunate to have a woman of her caliber representing us.
