Mayors of two more Connecticut communities are adding their names to the growing list of leaders endorsing Linda McMahon for United States Senate. Enfield Mayor Scott Kaupin and New Milford Mayor Patricia Murphy cited McMahon’s business expertise and success in creating jobs as reasons for their support.

“We need leaders in Washington who have a good business sense, and we have that with Linda McMahon,” Enfield Mayor Scott Kaupin said. “With her business expertise and her commitment to communities like Enfield, I know she will be the best choice to represent Connecticut.”

“The people of Connecticut are desperate for real leadership in Washington,” New Milford Mayor Patricia Murphy said. “Linda is a proven job creator who understands what our hardworking families and small business owners need, and I am proud to endorse her for the U.S. Senate.”

“These local leaders know, as I do, how hard small businesses and families are working to build a strong future for themselves and their communities,” McMahon said. “I will be a voice for them in Washington and will make sure their interests are heard.”
