At the August regular monthly meeting of the Salisbury Republican Town Committee Tuesday night, Republican 5th Congressional District candidate Mark Greenberg was unanimously endorsed for the 2014 race against Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty. Chairman Chris Janelli lauded Mark’s persistence in the face of the state’s overwhelming progressivism that continues to send one of the country’s most liberal blocks of congressional legislators to Congress. He said the SRTC’s decision for an early endorsement is to make it known now and to start getting other RTCs in the 5th District on the Greenberg bandwagon to lock down his nomination and hopefully prevent less qualified candidates from forcing a primary. Primaries drain both time and money from the real objective, which is to take the fight sooner than later to Congresswoman Esty and start pounding on the destructive and devise political, social and economic agenda she supports in Congress. Candidate Greenberg has invested significant time and resources over the past two elections that have made him a recognized name in CT known for his principles of less government, less regulation, less spending & borrowing, a self-imposed term limit, and support for small businesses and working families. In the 2010 election cycle, gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley beat Gov. Malloy by 26,000 votes in the Congressional 5th District, showing that this district is a winnable one for the CT GOP. In 2014, Congressional Republican candidates Roraback, Greenberg, Wilson-Foley, and Bernier fought a heavily contested Republican primary with the result being the state party endorsed candidate Roraback sharing too many positions to present the voters with a real clear choice against the democrat Esty. Chairman Janelli believes, “If Mark Greenberg wins the Republican nomination, and the State Party gets behind him early, restrains itself from “pulling a political rabbit” out of the current legislators, and time isn’t wasted on a serious primary fight, and the campaign against Esty starts right after the state convention, I have no doubt Connecticut will once again have a Republican Congressman. Those are a lot of ‘ands,’ but it’s all possible. It will really get down to whether the CT State Party will get serious about winning a very winnable race and sending a principled conservative Republican to Washington.”
