She's one of the Good Ones.

North Branford knows how to celebrate potatoes and corn!  Earlier this month I spent an evening at the North Branford Potato and Corn Festival enjoying great music, delicious food and the company of wonderful attendees. 

During my time at the festival I met Angela.  Angela is originally from New York, and moved to the 12th district four years ago. Her husband, a retired NYC firefighter, visited Branford 20 years ago and fell in love with the area, promising to one day move here.  Angela laughed and said "I never thought it would happen, but here we are living his dream."  I thanked her for her husbands service and shared I was also married to a firefighter.  

Angela and I talked for a while, about the changes she has witnessed in the short time she and her husband have been in Connecticut. She became quite passionate, "it's out of control, really does anyone have any common sense up there?" she said. Our conversation continued about the lack of responsibility our current legislators have shown to how new fresh faces and ideas are needed in Hartford.   "You know, I like you. You look me in the eye when you talk to me." She turned to her family and continued "Hey, kids meet Lisa Davenport, she's running for State Senate, she's one of the good ones"
