a new day for the 16th district

Meet Jack Perry

Reclaiming our voice in Hartford with common sense and local pride.

I’m running for State Senate because I’ve lived what so many people are going through: rising costs, broken promises, and leaders who seem completely out of touch. I’m not a career politician. I’m a former town council member, a small business owner, and a dad trying to make things better for the next generation.

I started my first business with a pickup truck and a plan I wrote in high school. I built HQ Dumpsters from the ground up, created jobs, and did what small business owners across Connecticut do every day: worked hard and kept going, even when the system made it harder than it needed to be.

Eventually, I had to sell that business. And I’ll be honest: it’s easier working for someone else now than it ever was working for myself. That says a lot about where things stand in this country.

In Hartford, I’ll focus on the basics: lowering costs, expanding access to childcare and housing, protecting Social Security, and making sure small businesses and working families actually have a fair shot.

If you're tired of politicians who say the right thing and do nothing, I hear you. I’m running to change that.

In the Community

For too long, we’ve been told to pick a side in a system that isn't delivering for anyone. But here’s the truth: The real strength of Connecticut has always been its people, the builders, the workers, and the neighbors who keep this state running. Jack is building a movement that puts our community first.
