In Hartford, Working Families has built up our strongest membership to stand up for working and middle class families.
And make no misteak -- Hartford has a lot of problems to deal with, from rising poverty and high unemployment to crumbling schools and low voter turnout.
We've started to elect local WFP members to office -- and they're starting to make a difference.
On the City Council, Larry and Luis are standing up for good jobs, for a healthier environment, for retirees and for immigrants.
From the Registrar of Voters' office, Urania is starting a landmark program of civic engagement.
And on the Board of Education, Sharon is a tireless champion for improving Hartford's public schools.
