| I am running for the Democratic Party nomination to the United States Senate from the State of Connecticut because you deserve straight talk...for a change. I am running for our party's nomination because I believe: You deserve a Senator who rose from humble beginnings and never forgot who and where he comes from. You deserve a Senator who is not a career politician, but has instead spent the vast majority of his adult life working in the private sector just like you. You deserve a Senator who represents the interests of the people of Connecticut, not the interests of massive corporate campaign contributors. You deserve a Senator who represents a fundamental change from the culture of corruption that permeates Washington today. You deserve a Senator who lives with his family in Connecticut and who goes to Washington each week to work for you, not to be a celebrity. You deserve a Senator who stands before you in Connecticut every week to hold town hall meetings to listen to your concerns and update you on Congressional activity. You deserve a Senator whose top priority is making certain that every citizen of Connecticut receives a guaranteed college or vocational school education and has a good private sector job they can build a future and a family on. You deserve a Senator that you are proud of. |
