Winsley Advocates Voting Against All of Congress

Senate

Seniors Rally

at Linda McMahon (R)’s campaign headquarters in North Haven on Monday against what they say is the Republican U.S. Senate candidate's desire to "sunset" Social Security and Medicare.

The protesters said they were reacting to comments McMahon made at a Tea Party forum in Waterford where she proposed adding a "sunset provision" to the Social Security Act.

‘Pandering’ for Female Votes

Chris Murphy (D) has worked to paint Linda McMahon as anti-women through campaign ads, but a writer at Slate feels “demeaned” by the attempts.

Throw Murphy’s [television] spot in with the rest of the season’s lady-focused ads and the picture you get of American womanhood is one of earnest cowering worry, often while toting a baby, occasionally while muttering said worries to said baby. Our emotional repertoire would seem to consist entirely of different shades of fear.

3rd District

Rosa DeLauro (D): The federal government is redistributing $121 million in wealth to help pay for a new rail system between New Haven, Hartford and Springfield. The plan has the endorsement of DeLauro. She wrote on Twitter:

New Haven-Hartford-Springfield rail means opportunities for econ development and expansion, up and down the line #cttransit

Wayne Winsley (R) shared an organization's political advertisement urging voters to vote against all 435 incumbent members of Congress this election. “Vote out the House, especially in CT,” Winsley said on Twitter.
