Hartford, CT - After tonight’s GOP debate, Chairman Nick Balletto released the following statement: “The Republican debate tonight showed that Republicans are out of touch with Connecticut voters and that no candidate, on stage or off stage, has the courage to distinguish themselves as a leader. Candidate after candidate stood up to share nothing but empty rhetoric with no idea for how they would lead as Governor."
