Ferraro
State Rep. Charles Ferraro on May 17 secured the Republican nomination to run for a fifth term in the 117th House District in Orange on May 17. The district includes parts of Milford, Orange and West Haven.
“During my time as your representative in Hartford I have worked across the aisle to pass legislation that helps families, encourages the development of offshore wind power generation and improves our state government. I have advocated for new legislation to fight juvenile crime and to properly support our police. I fought against legislation that threatened local control of zoning decisions, the forced regionalization of schools, and harmful tax increases,” Ferraro said.
“I am proud of what I have accomplished but we still have a lot of work to do. I will not stop until our taxes are permanently reduced and our economy is firing on all cylinders. A safer Connecticut starts with a stronger Connecticut. It starts with an economy that can support jobs, build hope and create a path to success for young people,” he added.
Ferraro is the ranking member of the Energy and Technology Committee. He also serves on the Appropriations and Veterans Affairs committees.
Ferraro is the founder of the Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan Association, which serves martial artists throughout the US and South America. He is the owner of the West Haven Academy of Karate, a 45-year-old local business. He is also the cofounder of the Worldwide Tang Soo Do Family, which is based in West Haven and Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The WTSDF is an umbrella organization created for the purpose of uniting Tang Soo Do organizations worldwide.
