RIDGEFIELD — Democratic incumbent Aimee Berger-Girvalo is debunking what she says are false claims in a campaign mailer circulated by her opponent in the race for the 111th House District.
Her campaign team said the mailer received by Ridgefield residents on Monday featured a "number of misrepresentations" of her voting record and “two verifiably false claims perpetuated and approved by Selectman Bob Hebert.” Hebert, a Republican selectman in town, is challenging Berger-Girvalo, who is in her first term representing the district that includes most of Ridgefield.
Reached by phone on Monday, Hebert told a reporter Monday that he would call back, but then did not return multiple phone calls and emails. The mailer, provided by Berger-Girvalo's team, says it was paid for by "Bob Hebert for State Rep." and approved by him.
As well as promoting Hebert’s campaign for office, the mailer includes a column comparing Hebert’s and Berger-Girvalo’s positions on “Crime,” “Education,” “Affordability,” “Local Control of Zoning” and “Town Meetings.”
The mailer claims she voted against a "working-class income tax cut," but she "actually voted against proposed amendments which would have weakened the legislation’s provisions meant to benefit Ridgefield’s citizens,” her campaign said. Her campaign provided her voting record.
