      I need the email address for Sarah Ringstad. I received an phone call from congressman Joe Courtney’s office yesterday. Avanti Grant talked to me and gave me an email address for Sarah Ringstad for meeting times and locations in Groton. (I live in Ledyard). But when I used that email address it came back “Error – email address not valid. The email address I used was: sarahringstad@yahoo.com
      Please let me know the correct email address to contact her.
