Coursey Wins Democratic Nomination for the 14th House District

The South Windsor Democratic Town Committee has unanimously endorsed Genevieve Coursey, as the Democratic candidate for the 14th House District. “I’m grateful for such overwhelming and unanimous support,” said Coursey after Thursday night's nominating convention.

In his nominating speech, South Windsor’s 3rd District State Senator Saud Anwar said Coursey,

“embodies intelligence, kindness, and respect for people of all ages,” and that he would be honored to serve with Coursey in the state legislature. Anwar added, “The next legislative session will be filled with challenges surrounded the physical health of our residents and the financial health of our state. A partner like Genevieve at the State Capitol is what the people of South Windsor need to face those challenges.”

Coursey believes the town "deserves a representative who understands the issues that affect their day-to-day lives" and that as a mother and active member of the community, she understands the needs of families.

Coursey moved to town with her husband and three children, following her husband’s 10-year service in the U.S. Navy. Since then, Coursey has become an active member of her community, as a Girl Scout leader, a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the South Windsor Democratic Town Committee.

Recently, as a volunteer for the non-profit organization Foodshare, Coursey has witnessed the needs of the 14th District with the ever growing food relief lines at Rentschler Field. “Covid-19 has laid bare the economic and healthcare disparities in our community, and I am ready to step up and be a leader in the fight for recovery,” Coursey said.

In congratulating Coursey on her nomination, South Windsor Democratic Town Chairman, TonyDuarte said, “Genevieve is a great candidate and I have no doubt she will win on November 3rd and work hard to represent the people of South Windsor.”
