Hi, I'm

GUY
TUCCERO

I'm a young father raising my family right here in the 36th district. I feel the same pressures you feel — the rising taxes, the state mandates that override our towns, the Hartford decisions that treat us like afterthoughts.

I'm running because our families deserve better.

A Message from Guy

I want to tell you why I'm running — not in campaign speak, but the way I'd say it to a neighbor at the kitchen table.

I'm a young father. I'm raising my children right here in the 36th district, and every day I see the consequences of decisions made in Hartford by people who don't live our life. The property taxes that make it harder for young families to stay. The state mandates that override what our town boards decide. The bureaucratic layers that tell farmers, homeowners, and parents what they can and can't do on their own land — in their own homes — with their own children.

"What is Hartford doing that is forcing young families out of Chester, Deep River, Essex, and Haddam?"

I have skin in the game. This isn't abstract politics to me. The future of this district belongs to the families who are investing in it right now — and those families deserve a representative who lives what they live, not one who shows up 100% of the time to vote for Hartford's agenda and 0% of the time for theirs.

I believe deeply in local control. Chester knows what's best for Chester. Essex knows its historic character. Deep River's working families know what they need. Haddam's farmers know their land. I'm running to make sure Hartford listens — and if it won't, to make it.

I hope you'll join me.

What Matters to Our Families

These aren't talking points. They're the real concerns I hear from parents, homeowners, small business owners, and neighbors across all four towns. They'll be my priorities from day one.

💰
Lower Taxes & Cost of Living
Young families are being priced out of Connecticut. Every Hartford spending bill is another cost passed to you. I will fight tax increases and vote against every mandate that raises your cost of living.
→ A top priority from day one
🏛️
Local Control, Not State Mandates
Hartford is overriding our towns — from solar mandates in historic districts to zoning rules that ignore local character. Our communities have the wisdom to govern themselves. I'll fight to restore that right.
→ Chester knows best for Chester
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Parental Rights & Medical Freedom
As a father, this is personal. Parents — not the state — make decisions about their children. I will defend parental authority against every Hartford overreach, in education and healthcare.
→ We trust parents. Hartford doesn't.
🛡️
Public Safety That Works
Our communities deserve real public safety — resources, accountability to local residents, and representatives who back our police. I'll support law enforcement and oppose policies that leave our neighborhoods less safe.
→ Safe communities, local accountability
🌿
Real Conservation, Not "Fake Green"
We love the Connecticut River and our land. But sweeping lobby-driven bans punish homeowners and farmers without real environmental benefit. I support genuine, community-led stewardship — not Hartford's "Fake Green" legislation.
→ Protect rivers, not lobby groups
🏪
Small Business & Main Street
The small businesses and self-employed people of Chester, Essex, Deep River, and Haddam are being squeezed by regulations, taxes, and mandates. I'll fight for a Connecticut where it pays to stay and build here.
→ Grow here, stay here

A Promise to the Families of the 36th District

Every vote I cast will be for the families of Chester, Deep River, Essex, and Haddam. Not for Hartford's caucus. Not for special interest groups. For the people I know, the people I live alongside, and the people whose children will grow up in this district alongside mine.

✓
I Will Not Vote for Hartford's Agenda
I will be an independent voice — not a rubber stamp for party leadership at the expense of our district.
✓
I Will Protect Your Town's Right to Decide
Local communities know their needs best. I'll fight every state mandate that bypasses your town's voice.
✓
I Will Be Accessible and Transparent
I'll hold Kitchen Table sessions, attend local events, and be reachable — because representation means showing up.
✓
I Will Fight Every Tax Increase
Connecticut's tax burden is already too high. I will oppose new spending mandates that raise costs for working families.
