Both as a leader in community based nonprofits focused on health education, and as the top municipal public health official leading health departments in Connecticut’s two largest cities, overseeing dozens of staff and budgets of millions of dollars during the world’s worst public health crisis in a century. Efforts to educate the public in New Haven and Bridgeport on how to stay safe during the pandemic, get tested and get vaccinated saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.
Maritza Bond has also advocated for many significant legislative and policy changes with our state legislature and implemented those policy changes at the local level. Often times, those changes included advocating for traditionally marginalized communities and fighting for inclusivity and equity in our healthcare system.
- Bring Early Voting to Connecticut
- Restore trust between local election officials – Registrars and Town Clerks – and the Secretary of the State’s Office
- Revitalize the SOTS small and minority business unit
Bring early voting to CT by funding a robust voter education campaign on the constitutional amendment to allow it. So the CT Assembly must do its job and pass the amendment between now and May 4th.
Connecticut is one of only 6 states in the country that does not offer early voting of any kind. By the end of my first term, I will bring early voting to CT
Before we can change the law to allow early voting or ‘no excuse’ absentee ballots, CT General Assembly must pass a Constitutional amendment during the current legislative session that would allow CT voters to approve it in the 2024 Presidential election
Once this is passed, the amendment will appear on the ballot in November 2024.
