“Our delegates will have a role in choosing Republican candidates to represent Wilton in Hartford and in Washington,” said Wilton Republican Town Committee Chairman Al Alper. “At the state level, we will be returning Reps. Lavielle and O’Dea, along with Sen. Boucher, who have been leaders in promoting pro-business, responsible solutions to try and reverse our state’s downward economic spiral."
“And at the federal level, Connecticut has been ill-served by an all-Democrat Congressional delegation. Our House members, along with Senators Blumenthal and Murphy, have been willing participants in President (Barack) Obama’s failed economic agenda that have hurt the very people they promised to help," Alper added.
