Campaign themes
2011
Hoffman's 2011 special election campaign site emphasized several key policy positions and campaign themes:
- "For forty years, I have lived in West Hartford and served our community as your State Representative in 1995-1996 and volunteered on local, regional, and state boards and commissions as well as local and state taxpayer organizations. Now, I would like to take my dedication to improving the lives of West Hartford families and businesses back to the State Capitol. Our state is in desperate need of fiscally responsible leadership. As a staunch opponent of increased taxes, I will work hard to keep our families and businesses thriving. I hope you will follow our campaign online, and I hope to meet you personally as I go door to door before the February 22nd election!"
