Last week, CT House and Senate Republican leaders called for bipartisan action on election security while Democrats continue to deflect and downplay the severity of the issue in our state. Connecticut made national headlines as four Bridgeport Democrat operatives were arrested for crimes stemming from a 2019 election. Most notably, a video from the 2023 Bridgeport mayoral election of one operative stuffing handfuls of ballots into a drop box made national headlines, see The New York Times, Fox News, and The Associated Press. These developments are embarrassing for the city of Bridgeport, and they are embarrassing for the
MIDDLETOWN — Chairman Ben Proto chastised Wethersfield Democrats who failed to honor the senseless murder of State Trooper Aaron Pelletier after calling the thin blue line flag racist and non-inclusive. “As all of Connecticut knows, Connecticut lost a brave and dedicated State Trooper last week who was killed in the line of duty at a routine traffic stop by a hit and run driver on Interstate 84 in Southington” Proto began. “This loss is a loss for all of Connecticut and we should honor our police and we all pray that we will never again have to lay to rest
MIDDLETOWN — House Bill 5431, poorly named An Act Establishing a Connecticut Families and Workers Account, now released as PA 24-131, has been sent to Governor Ned Lamont’s desk for his signature. Will it be a veto signature, as he promised, or will it be a signature signing the bill into law? “Governor Lamont, at his post-legislative session, clearly stated that he does not support this bill. He described it as ‘too cute by half’ and said if the legislature wants to create a fund for striking workers, it should do so with a true vote on the issue,” said
MIDDLETOWN — “The rise of blatant antisemitism at Yale University requires action by Governor Ned Lamont, Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, and the Democrats in the Connecticut General Assembly,” said Ben Proto, Chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party. Their silence on these actions, particularly that of Senate President Martin Looney, who represents the city of New Haven, has been deafening. Their silence provides these antisemitic protestors with the belief that what they say is supported by the Democrats.” “The leadership of Yale University is complicit in all these antisemitic activities,” continued Proto. “It is time for Governor Lamont, Lt. Governor
Now several months after the horrific 10/7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel, we still do not know where Jahana Hayes stands on this important issue. Does she stand with the radical Liberals in her party, who demand an unconditional ceasefire without the release of hostages? Or does she stand with Israel, America’s strongest ally in the Middle East? From the very beginning, Hayes’ support for Israel has been extraordinarily unclear. On November 2nd, she voted against a military aid package for Israel. What does she have against helping one of our strongest allies to defend
The Connecticut General Assembly’s Government Administration and Elections Committee (GAE) has finally begun to work towards securing our elections. This comes after Bridgeport received national attention by requiring four mayoral elections over the course of five months due to voter fraud. Regrettably, Democrat members of the Government Administration and Elections Committee seem reluctant to pursue the solutions needed to secure our elections. State Representative Blumenthal (D-Stamford) and State Senator Flexer (D-Killingly) seek to create a new “Municipal Election Accountability Board.” This board would evaluate local elections on a four-tier scale based on the problems present. Bridgeport’s election problems are
MIDDLETOWN — Yesterday, the United States House of Representatives overwhelming voted to approve legislation which bans any social media platform, including TikTok, from use in the United States unless it was sold to a U.S. entity. TikTok, a social media application owned and controlled by ByteDance, a China-based company, is among the most used social media platforms in the world. “When it came time to protect Americans, and their personal data and wellbeing, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Jim Himes, failed the call, and voted to protect the Chinese company that is regularly collecting personal information and data on
Unfortunately, a judge was once again forced to overturn the results of the Bridgeport Democratic primary due to blatant voter fraud engaged in by Democrat officials. This is not the first time this has happened in Bridgeport. In 2017, the Connecticut Supreme Court had to intervene in a Bridgeport Democrat City Council Primary, ordering a 3rd primary to be held. In 2022, the Democrat primary for state representative was thrown out by a Judge and rerun. And, lest we forget, the Stamford Democrat Chair was convicted of 14 counts of Absentee Ballot fraud for his actions in the 2015 Stamford
Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto released this statement following President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on Thursday, March 7th: “As evidenced by tonight’s State of the Union Address by President Biden, the current Democrat playbook is to urge Americans to deny reality. If ever a President and political party have engaged in mass gaslighting, it is Joe Biden and his Democrat cohorts.” “President Biden has presided over the worst border crisis and the highest inflation rates in modern history. He and his party have weaponized our Justice Department for political reasons while degrading the American
