The campaign site organized the district around these communities.
Tom O'Dea's campaign is rooted in public service, legal experience, and deep involvement in the New Canaan community.

The campaign message centers on affordability, safer communities, local control, and a stronger business climate.
Cut taxes that make Connecticut harder to afford, including taxes on meals, diesel, estates, gifts, pensions, and annuities.
Bring down energy costs through better state policy and stronger stewardship of public resources.
Protect parental rights in education and health care decisions and keep families at the center of major choices.
Strengthen public safety, preserve local control over zoning and education, and improve the climate for small business and job growth.
Tom's campaign has a straightforward case to make: long service, strong community ties, and practical priorities for the district.
