MADISON, CT— Themis Klarides, House Republican Leader and candidate for US Senate, released the names of 40 Republican State Central Committee members, representing over half of the committee’s membership.
“I am honored to have the support of so many State Central Committee members who are ready to send a proven problem solver to Washington and retire Dick Blumenthal, once and for all,” said Klarides.
Klarides continued, “Connecticut families are paying more at the supermarket as we face the highest inflation rates in forty years, while Democrats in Washington continue to push for trillions more in spending. Overseas, our disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal has opened the door to adversaries like Russia and China who threaten the peace and stability across the globe. Where is Dick Blumenthal in all of this? Nowhere to be seen. We cannot afford to send another partisan politician down to Washington when we need problem solvers who know how to bring people together.”
State Representative and State Central Committee member, Rosa Rebimbas, added, “Themis is the candidate who can bring the fight to Dick Blumenthal and hold him accountable for his inaction and partisan voting record. I have seen firsthand her ability to bring people together to get tough things done. This is something that is sorely missing in Washington.”
Former CTGOP Executive Director and State Central Committee member, Bryan Cafferelli continued, “Connecticut Republicans have their best chance in over a decade to win a US Senate seat, something we have not done since 1982. We need to unify around Themis and focus our energies on defeating Dick Blumenthal in November—not needlessly attacking each other which only serves as a distraction from our main goal.”
This initial release shows early strength for Klarides’ US Senate campaign, which was announced the previous Sunday morning.
