U.S. Senate- Richard Blumenthal

Blumenthal, former Conn. Attorney General, is in a hard-fought race against former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, but he is the better choice in this race.  Blumenthal was formerly a state representative and state senator so he knows the issues that are facing Connecticut, and for the last 20 years he has been fighting hard for the people.  For example, Blumenthal fought to make Connecticut safer to raise a family through the regulation of MySpace and Craigslist so as to remove sex offenders, as well as recovering billions of dollars from Big Tobacco companies due to their deceptive advertising practices that are aimed towards children. Blumenthal has never backed down from a fight that would have made the people of Connecticut safer and he will continue to be a needed voice in Washington.

Governor- Dan Malloy

As Mayor of Stamford for 14 years, Dan Malloy revitalized the City of Stamford, bringing jobs and residents to the city. While serving as Mayor, Malloy lowered crime and Stamford became one of the top safest cities in the United States. Consequently, there is currently a $3 billion projected budget shortfall that will not be solved with ‘nickeling and diming around the edges’ – it’s going to take some cuts.  Case in point: Malloy streamlined municipal jobs in Stamford to make local government more efficient and transparent.  Socially, Malloy instituted a number of programs in the city, such as the first city-run nursing home facility and the first universal pre-kindergarten system in the state.  In addition, Malloy continues to support public education as the basis for the development of future leaders of the state. Malloy wants to make Connecticut a place where individuals will want to make homes and raise families.

Lt. Governor- Nancy Wyman

Wyman, former State Comptroller of the State of Connecticut, has been the Chief Fiscal Guardian of State, overseeing many of the benefit plans for over 200,000 former and current state employees. Wyman is seeking to improve the state’s health care system and reduce the cost of Connecticut’s Husky Plan. Wyman knows that it’s going to take some creativity to accomplish many of the things that need to be done in the state. She is someone who has spent much of her life in office and is seeking to continually better the state fiscally and socially.

U.S. Congress (4th CD) – Jim Himes

The freshman Congressman has fought hard for the interests of the people in the 4th Congressional District. In the last few months she has fought ardently for the extensions of all Bush-era tax cuts, where she has received bipartisan support, and was praised by Greta Van Susteren of Fox News for this position. Jim Himes continues to seek more government fiscal responsibility and is looking to cut wasteful government spending. As someone who formerly worked on Wall Street, Himes knows the importance of reform. In this time of war, it is good to know Himes has continually fought for the rights of returning veterans. He voted to extend veteran disability benefits and strengthened the GI Bill.  Congressman Himes, in just two short years, has done wonderful things in improving not just in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District, but also the rest of the United States.
