Building a new majority in the House of Representatives is the most direct route to bringing balance to a government that is spinning out of control on spending, taxes, and regulation. Jim Himes is part of the problem who consistently votes with Nancy Pelosi whenever she needs him.

Whether or not you live and vote in Fairfield County, the vote in this district could have a big impact upon your family and your country.
ReplyDeleteDan has a different set of values – in his own words, he is running for Congress "to restore the values of free enterprise and individual liberty to Washington. Fairfield County families want practical solutions on the economy, healthcare, and transportation.
