Heads up: I'm Josh Elliott, State Rep and Democratic candidate for Governor. AMA here next Tuesday, 5/26 at 1:30 PM
I'm Josh Elliott. I represent Hamden in the state legislature, where I serve as Deputy Speaker, and I'm running in the Democratic primary for Governor.
I wanted to give r/Connecticut a heads up before doing this rather than just dropping in. Next Tuesday, 5/26 at 1:30 PM I'll be hosting an AMA right here in this subreddit. I'll post the actual AMA thread on Monday so anyone who wants to can get their questions in early, and then I'll be answering live starting Tuesday at 1:30.
If you want background on the race first, CT Mirror covered it today: With Josh Elliott on primary ballot, Lamont's summer gets hotter. Short version: I qualified for the first primary against a sitting Connecticut governor in nearly 50 years.
Ask me about anything. Utility rates and Eversource, taxes and who actually pays what in this state, education funding, housing, the primary, running a small business in Connecticut, or whatever else is on your mind. I'll give real answers, including to the hard questions.
See you Tuesday. Thanks to the mods for being accommodating about this.
