Daniel Cowan
Daniel Cowan is a Republican running for the seat held by incumbent Democratic state Rep. Mary Welander.
Cowan did not respond to requests for a response.
According to the “basic principles” statement on his campaign website, “Our state government must begin to work for the people who pay for it rather than the bureaucrats and career politicians that control it.”
“I am committed to creating a vibrant and affordable Connecticut where kids can thrive, adults can make decisions for themselves and their children, and the previous generation is respected and cared for.”
“This November offers voters a unique opportunity to elect a new legislative majority and new legislators like myself that will challenge the status quo and transform the state government that has become too big, too expensive, and too intrusive in our lives.”
Other issues Cowan’s website highlights are the creation of a “parents bill of rights,” emphasizing local control over zoning, tackling crime, auditing the executive branch and tax relief.
