Norwalk Rep. Wilms Seeks Re-Election In 142nd District

NORWALK, Conn. -- Pointing to GE’s plan to flee Connecticut as evidence of the state’s fiscal failures, Norwalk Republican Fred Wilms promised to help turn things around if elected to a second term as representative of the 142nd District, according a report in NCAdvertiser.com.

The 142nd District covers Norwalk and New Canaan.

In 2014, the Daily Voice published Wilms’ responses to a League of Women Voters’ questionnaire made when he was first running for the state representative post. Wilms highlighted his background in the banking business and said his degrees in economics and finance and said they would serve him well in Hartford.

Connecticut’s problems, he said then, included rising taxes, little or no job growth, and “irresponsible” state budgets.

He eventually beat rival Emily Wilson and replaced state Rep. Lawrence Cafero, who was retiring.

In the NCAdvertiser.com piece, which carried his byline, Wilms said his top priority was to put Connecticut back on a sustainable fiscal path.
