The Weston Republican Town Committee endorsed Oz Griebel for Governor, Linda McMahon for U.S. Senate, and Dan Debicella for the 4th Congressional District. 

Political newcomer Oz Griebel is an experienced and respected business leader in the private sector and is President and CEO of the MetroHartford Alliance.

Another newcomer to politics, Linda McMahon, will go up against Democratic incumbent Richard Blumenthal.  McMahon is a savvy businesswoman who is best known for her role in building the World Wrestling Entertainment Corporation.

In a heavily contended race that is almost certain to go to primaries, it was State Senator Dan Debicella who got the WRTC’s endorsement for a seat in the 4th Congressional District.  If nominated, Mr. Debicella will go head-to-head with Democratic incumbent Jim Himes.  Mr. Debicella has a proven track record as State Senator with a demonstrated interest in fighting for Connecticut. 

“One of the most important jobs of the Weston Republican Town Committee [WRTC] is candidate endorsement. We take this responsibility very seriously.  This is part of how we fulfill our promise to Weston Republicans to best represent their interests,” said Glenn Major, Chair of the WRTC and former Weston Selectman.  On Tuesday night, May 11, the WRTC fulfilled their promise to Weston Republicans by endorsing a strong slate of candidates.

The November races are heating up with a focus on Connecticut small business, fiscal discipline, smaller government and most of all - change that is believable.

Tom Hermann, First Selectman of Easton, is running for 4th Congressional district

As the caucuses draw near and the national and state races heat up, Weston’s Republican Town Committee continues to ensure a well-informed electorate by inviting key candidates to come to town, share and compare platforms, and answer voter questions.

U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon told the group that she is “not looking to be a career politician.  I am looking to serve.  She added that a key goal of hers, if elected, would be to pay down debt to reduce the more than $1 billion a day this country pays in debt service.  “We need to cut costs and overhead.”  When asked about healthcare, McMahon said that while she wasn’t a supporter of the overall plan and would like to rebuild a new one, she felt that was less likely to happen.  Instead, she believes Washington needs to look at the new plan and find savings and efficiencies.  “I would be a Senator whose roots are here in Connecticut and I am asking for your vote unabashedly—we must defeat Blumenthal.” 

Tom Hermann, who is Easton’s First Selectman and a recent entry into the Congressional race in the 4th district (vying to unseat Democrat Jim Himes), noted that he brings “real, and relevant experience” to his candidacy.  A key component of his platform is “A simple, low-tax structure plan that accomplishes three things: work, savings, and investment.”  Hermann noted that he was re-elected in Easton with 72% of the vote and that Easton now boasts “the lowest tax rate in Fairfield County and one of the lowest in the state.”
