State Sen. MD Rahman Announces Re-election Campaign

MANCHESTER, CT — Democratic State Sen. MD Rahman has announced that he has filed to seek re-election to the Connecticut State Senate's 4th District.

Rahman said Monday he is "seeking to build on my record of cutting costs and driving investment in communities across Manchester, Glastonbury, Andover, and Bolton."

Rahman is the CEO of multiple businesses in the healthcare, construction, and real estate investment industries. Rahman donates his Senate salary to nonprofit organizations in his district.

He added, "I came to this country (from Bangladesh) with little more than the clothes on my back and a dream. America has given me everything, and since being elected to the state Senate, I've done everything in my power to protect our most important ideals. From fighting back against Donald Trump's gross abuses of power, to securing a future for families we can all afford, my focus has been on the people of Connecticut. I look forward to continuing this important work on your behalf.”

His campaign biography says he has created "hundreds of jobs and has employed more than 5,000 people.

His first job was working as a waiter. So was his second. And his third.

"MD has been there for our towns and for our families," Manchester Mayor Jay Moran said. "His values are our values, and his work brings us closer to a world where everyone has a shot at the American Dream. He delivered $600 million in tax cuts for our working- and middle-class families, brought more than $17 million in education funding to our towns, and delivered the Ratepayers First Act, providing $800 million in energy savings to Connecticut families every year. These are real results that signal real progress. MD’s earned the chance to continue this important work."
