I Love Newtown The Way It Is

Support Mitch Bolinsky

A quick search of articles on The Bee's website debunk most of these claims. Mitch has done an incredible job on infrastructure, opposed tax increases and has been honored multiple times for his bipartisan work for our seniors. I have faith that Newtown voters are more intelligent than Lynn presumes.

We Would Be Insane To Re-Elect Mitch Bolinsky

Hasn't one of the hosts been out canvasing for the DTC candidates? I cant imagine why someone would decline that invitation.

Two Guys And Three Candidates Talk Politics For Podcasts

Do you really think people who are going to commit violent crime care at all about gun laws? They may however, think twice about committing said violent crime if they fear a violent response...

Look At The Record

I read Jim Gaston’s letter supporting Rob Blanchard and found the way Mr. Blanchard’s connection to Newtown was presented somewhat disingenuous. Mr. Gaston repeatedly describes Mr. Blanchard as a “neighbor” and emphasizes his connection to “our communities” and his decision to put down “permanent roots” in Newtown. But the relevant context is that Mr. Blanchard is a very recent Newtown resident. Frankly, I have food in my refrigerator that has been in Newtown longer than he has.

Rob Blanchard For State Senate

Also -- Joseph Gormley, a Republican from Newtown, was a state senator in the late 1940s/early 1950s. Rob Blanchard has lived in the 28th Senate District for five years -- longer than has your preferred candidate.

Newtown Hasn’t Held This Seat In 100 Years
