Congressman Jim Himes (CT-04) today endorsed Keith Rodgerson for Connecticut’s 143rd state House district, which includes portions of Wilton, Norwalk and Westport.
"Keith Rodgerson has been an outstanding advocate for the issues that matter most to Fairfield County and I am proud to endorse him for State Representative,” Himes said. “Keith has a proven commitment to public service and a deep knowledge of the economic development and transportation issues that are critical to our region's prosperity. He has the experience, leadership and independent approach we need in Hartford.”
Rodgerson said, “I’m honored to receive Congressman Himes’ endorsement. I look forward continuing to work constructively in Fairfield County with Jim to help solve our transit woes, grow our economy, and keep in place common sense laws that protect our children.”
“I’m running because our elected officials need to put local interests first, and as a life-long resident of Southwestern Connecticut, I will do just that.”
Rodgerson is a Wilton Economic Development Commissioner and certified economic development finance professional. He is the director of the Neighborhood District Economic Development Corporation, a technical assistance and planning consultancy to small business clusters and manufacturers.
Rodgerson has been active in many local, state and national organizations, including the National Development Council, the Community Capital Fund, and the Coastal Fairfield County Consortium. He resides with his wife and son in the Georgetown section of Wilton.
Himes’ endorsement of Commissioner Rodgerson’s comes on the heels of recent endorsements by Fairfield County’s teachers, mental health professionals, and first responders.
