Foncello Endorsed by Connecticut Realtors® for Reelection

Brookfield, Conn. - Connecticut REALTORS® has endorsed State Rep. Martin Foncello’s reelection in the 107th District, representing Brookfield, Bethel, and Newtown.

In its endorsement of Foncello, CT REALTORS® wrote, “the Association carefully evaluates candidates in determining who may best ensure a positive environment for living in or transferring property in Connecticut. Real estate is essential to economic stability in our state and helps to build communities.”

The organization represents nearly 18,000 members involved in all aspects of real estate in Connecticut. They promote and advocate ownership of real estate in Connecticut to make it a better place to live, work and play.

“There has been a lot of development in Brookfield and Bethel in recent years. The towns are moving toward the 10-percent requirement of affordable housing units in order to get a moratorium, but there are challenges because of how the state counts units and what is deemed affordable,” said Rep. Foncello. “We need a better way forward on making homeownership more attainable.”

Rep. Foncello hosted a Housing Moratorium and 8-30(g) Presentation at Brookfield Town Hall last year featuring the Ranking Member of the General Assembly’s Housing Committee.

“This was a chance to clear up some misconceptions with development and to provide information on the current status of proposals before the legislature. I will continue to oppose measures that weaken local zoning authority,” said Rep. Foncello.

Foncello, of Brookfield, is a member of the committees on Appropriations, Education, and Government Administration and Elections.
