At a loss for words over the loss of Oz Griebel. He was a source of common sense and the only CT gov. candidate who got the need for linked tax & land use reform. He magnanimously shared his knowledge with those of us in Canton working on these issues. Sympathy to his family.

Oz Griebel, man. Didn’t really know much about his personality, only knew him from the 2018 CT GOV race, but he seemed sensible, reasonable, ready for the good fight. Many issues I didn’t agree with him. But many I did. His passing is crazy tragic 🙁 #RipOzGriebel #RipGrieb

He refused to be put into a lane.
He obsessed about policy and knew politics was just a means to an end.

And he cared, more than almost anyone I ever met, about the future of our state and the people in it.

Oz Griebel saw the partisan divide and wanted to DO something about it. I stood with him from the first time I heard him speak, and will continue to in his passing. Too soon Oz… spread equality from the heavens now.

Oz Griebel was a political candidate out of a civics textbook: serious but self-aware, passionate but open to change, unfailingly decent. He was proof there are good guys even in defeat.

Only met him a few times, but I had such respect for him, and high hopes for some of his election reform ideas. He was a good man, a nice guy, an open mind, and, in the true sense of the word, a patriot. Just the kind of guy we need MORE of today. #OzGriebel

Just two candidates swapping canvassing stories & a few jokes. Thankfully, Oz was always willing to give a few pointers to the next generation.

I met Oz Griebel for the first time in 2017, several months after I moved to Hartford.
In that meeting, Oz and I spent an hour talking about the ongoing wave of growth downtown and the future of the city.
I was struck by how knowledgeable and passionate he was.
