Hartford, Ct. – Connecticut Democratic Party Chairman Nick Balletto released the following statement on the Connecticut Republican Party’s nominee for United States Senate.

“Despite Donald Trump’s promises to tear families apart by deporting 11 million immigrants, ban an entire religion from entering our country, and punish women for exercising their right to choose, Republican Senate nominee Dan Carter has pledged to support Trump and his bombastic policies and rhetoric. I want to be clear, the Trump-Carter agenda is not just out of touch; it’s dangerous. 

“Dick Blumenthal has spent the past six years fighting for Connecticut’s veterans, communities, and middle class families in the Senate. He is Connecticut’s champion, and the Connecticut Democratic Party stands ready to defend his stellar record of public service.”
