"It's an honor to receive the backing of the Independent Party of Connecticut in my run for State Representative," Jaumann said. "I received the backing of the Independent Party and the Republican Party because I am not beholden to a single party, or any special interest groups. If we are going to change the state of Connecticut, we need to electofficials who are not afraid to think outside of the box, listen to all sides, and work towards common sense solutions, while putting the taxpayers of Connecticut first."

Jaumann added, "The residents of the 104th District deserve someone who will place the needs of the residents of Ansonia and Derby ahead of any party agenda. As an Alderman, I took the lead pushing for our communities in the 104th District to study regionalization and shared services so we can find ways to become more efficient while at the same time trying to

increase quality. These are types of ideas that transcend parties’ lines and I am very proud to have been at the forefront of it."

Jaumann is an attorney and small business owner who lives in the 104th District with his wife, Crystal, and four children, the eldest of whom is currently serving proudly overseas in the United States Marine Corps. 
He currently serves as an Alderman in Ansonia’s 5th Ward.
