MIDDLETOWN — Connecticut universities are attempting to find “creative ways” to get undocumented students “paid jobs”. These “creative ways” must include the ability to pay the undocumented students without a need for a social security number, or other ways that don’t mention employment or tax status. “While students from other countries are always welcome to study at our great universities, particularly those in Connecticut, it seems counterintuitive to have students who do not have any type of documentation to be in the United States, let alone a simple student visa that would, not only allow them to study in
Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto released the following response to statements made by a few Connecticut Republicans: “The Connecticut Republican Party, and its entire leadership team, proudly supports Donald Trump, JD Vance, and all our Republican candidates. We know Kamala Harris and Tim Walz could not be a more wrong choice for our country and Connecticut. We strongly urge those who share our commitment to a more affordable country and state, energy independence, a more secure border, safer streets, better schools, and support for Israel and our Jewish allies, to cast their vote for President Donald Trump. Disparaging
ATTACKS TRUMP BY MINIMIZING THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND OPENING JEWISH WOUNDS MIDDLETOWN — The Connecticut Republican Party, led by Chairman Ben Proto, demands an immediate apology from State Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) and calls on Connecticut Democrats to denounce the abhorrent comparison made in a recent video posted by Duff. The video equates former President Donald Trump to Hitler—a comparison that is not only deeply offensive but also trivializes the atrocities of the Holocaust and the suffering of its victims. This rhetoric dangerously distorts history and insults the memory of those who perished under the
MIDDLETOWN — Following a recent mailer sent to voters by Amanda Veneziano, Democrat candidate for the 55th State House District, Connecticut Republican Chairman Ben Proto filed a complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission. “The disregard for the law and the intent of clean elections is a clear indication Amanda Veneziano is not of sound character and should not be serving in public office” Proto said. “This is the second time she has willfully ignored the spirit and letter of the law, the first time, she admitted to breaking the law but still received her grant, this time, she
CHRIS MURPHY, JAHANA HAYES, AND DEMOCRATS FAIL TO PROTECT CONNECTICUT MIDDLETOWN — On Monday, Tren de Aragua gang members committed a heinous murder in Stamford. Police captured the two in New Rochelle, New York, after they fled the scene of the murder with two young children. “When Senator Chris Murphy said that the Democrat Party has failed the people we care most about, ‘undocumented Americans’, these were the people he was talking about. Because of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chris Murphy, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney, and the entire Connecticut Congressional delegation’s failure to secure our border, a Connecticut
MIDDLETOWN — Recent reports show that Connecticut is lagging behind the rest of the country in terms of job and wages growth. Approximately 40% of Connecticut households live paycheck to paycheck. In addition, Connecticut families are paying $1,136 more per month for the same items as they were in January 2021. “Unfortunately, we, in Connecticut, are suffering through some horrendous decision-making from Democrats in both Hartford and Washington,” said Connecticut Republican Chairman Ben Proto. “The worse the news gets, the worse the decision-making coming out of the Governor’s office, the legislature, PURA, Department of Labor, and the myriad of
“We saw last night a clear difference between leadership. Senator JD Vance showed the American people the priorities of the next Trump Administration: a strong and secure border, prosperous and healthy citizens, and leadership that will focus on healing our divided country. “Governor Walz showed the unstable continuation of a Harris Biden Administration. We have all experienced the disastrous 3.5 years of the Harris Biden Administration including skyrocketing energy prices and unaffordable grocery bills that force families to make decisions they never should. We got to see Governor Walz’s true demeanor when he slipped and expressed Democrats’ extreme and
MIDDLETOWN — With rising electric rates, voter anger, and no real energy policy, Governor Lamont and the Democrats have put off any action to relieve ratepayers of overly burdensome electric bills until after the election. “It is truly shameful that Governor Lamont and Democrats in Hartford are too afraid to do their jobs and go into Special Session to address the ever-rising public benefits charges on our electric bills,” said Republican Chairman Ben Proto. Questions about true motivations rose earlier this week when State Representative and Energy and Technology Committee Co-Chairman Jonathan Steinberg (D- Westport) recently said, “Does he [Governor
MIDDLETOWN — Last night President Donald Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris met for the first time to discuss the issues facing America, Americans and the world. The debate, allegedly moderated by David Muir and Lindsey Davis of ABC News, showed stark differences between the two candidates. “Last night we saw a Kamala Harris that seems to have been created out of whole cloth” said Connecticut Republican Chairman Ben Proto. “She acted as if she had nothing to do with the horrific policies of the past 3+ years of the Biden-Harris administration. It’s as if she was absent from an
