Campaign themes

2016

Lynch's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

I am running because Connecticut is in an economic and fiscal death spiral and we citizens of District 51 and especially our children deserve better. I believe I can help to change this trajectory and restore prosperity to Connecticut. In summary, I’m running because I believe we need to:
  • Restore Fiscal Responsibility to Hartford – Yearly, near $1 billion deficits are now routine from Governor Malloy and our Democrat controlled General Assembly in Hartford. The profligate spending and borrowing that is occurring is reckless, and needs to stop now. The debt we are creating for our children and future generations is immoral. Taxing is now punitive, and so petty, and pervasive. We need a District 51 Representative that will work to restore fiscal responsibility in Hartford.
  • Create Jobs – Connecticut is consistently ranked one of the worst states to conduct business due to punitive taxes, fees, licensing, and regulations and other barriers to entry. It is bad enough the businesses and their jobs are leaving Connecticut, worse are the businesses that will not locate here and the jobs lost that are not seen. We need to stop chasing away business, and create a stable, fair, and healthy business environment in Connecticut that attracts entrepreneurs and businesses that will creates jobs.
  • Protect Day Kimball Hospital – the fiscal crisis engulfing DKH did not happen by accident. It is the direct result of the administrative and taxing policies from Governor Malloy and the General Assembly. They created this crisis. District 51 needs a representative that will not create a crisis in the first place.[2]
