Growing List of Republican Town Committee Chairs Now Stands at 45

Another ten chairs of local Republican Town Committees are adding their names to a growing list of leaders to endorse Linda McMahon for U.S. Senate. Their support brings the total number of RTC chairs backing McMahon to 45.

“This tremendous grassroots support is delivering great momentum to this campaign,” McMahon said. “These local leaders know, as I do, that to change Washington, we can’t keep sending in the same professional politicians. This country needs jobs, and as a job creator, I will work to achieve the progress that has been lacking. Our small business owners and hardworking families here in Connecticut and across the country deserve that.”

The chairs are personally endorsing McMahon on their own behalf, not on behalf of their local committees.
10 new RTC chairs endorsing McMahon:

David Norell, Canterbury
Tony Szewczyk, Derby
Louis Crisci, East Haven
Edward Cook, Essex
Tony Lent, Mansfield

Jerry Pia, Stamford
