Anthony “Tony G” Giannattasio, the endorsed Republican candidate for the 14th Senatorial District, opened his campaign headquarters July 13. Located at 158 Bridgeport Ave. in Milford, the opening was attended by over 70 supporters, including business leaders, elected officials, volunteers and family members. The campaign opening featured a ceremonial ribbon cutting, volunteer recruitment and celebratory good cheer.
The 14th Senate District includes all of Milford and Orange, Districts 2, 8, 9, 10 of West Haven and a portion of Woodbridge.
“On behalf of my family, thank you for the outpouring of support we’ve been witnessing since I earned the GOP endorsement last May,” Giannattasio said. “My message continues to be that of any business owner that works to meet a payroll each week. My message is the same as any parent that wants a better future for our children, as well as the best of care for our parents and veterans. And that message is simple: Reduce taxes. No tolls. Ensure safe schools. Cut regulations and bring jobs back to Connecticut. Should I be honored with your votes, together we will work to revive our stagnant economy and improve the lives of every Connecticut resident.”
Michele Gregorio, a prior West Haven Republican Town Committee Chairperson who formerly campaigned for the same Senate seat, endorsed Giannattasio at the opening.
“Connecticut is at a defining moment that requires leadership that listens,” Gregorio said. “Tony is that leader. A problem-solver with a record of helping people and making the tough decisions, Tony has earned the respect and trust of the business community, neighbors and elected officials alike.”
An elected member of the Milford Board of Aldermen since 2007, Giannattasio is currently the board’s Minority Leader and also serves on the Ordinance, Public Works, and Building Committees, as well as on the Milford Planning & Zoning Commission. He is a longtime member of the Milford Columbus Committee and is an Incorporator of both Milford Hospital and Milford Bank.
Giannattasio is also vice president of Milford Barrel, a family-owned and operated business since 1972. He and his wife Andrea are the parents of Francesca and Anthony. To learn more about his campaign, visit his campaign website.
