Connecticut Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate Leora Levy: Blumenthal Has Rubber-Stamped Bidens Failed Policies Making Americans of Every Party Suffer

“It’s time to retire Dick Blumenthal,” Leora Levy states on the home page of her campaign website, but the Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Connecticut says she is ready not only to take on the career Democrat politician, but also the “timid” members of her own party “who will abandon or betray us when it comes down to the important votes.”

“Drawing a strong contrast with Dick Blumenthal is the only way to win this Senate seat,” Levy says as she campaigns toward the Connecticut primary on August 9.

In an interview with The Connecticut Star, the Greenwich fundraiser and former trader described herself as “a principled, common sense, conservative outsider” who experienced, firsthand, the American dream.

“I have a background that nobody else has,” Levy, 65, shared. “I escaped communist Cuba in 1960. I watched my father start with nothing and eventually build a successful business. And I worked his payroll during the summer. I learned the lesson of what the government takes out of people’s paychecks in those eight weeks.”

Levy said her family’s background of escaping Castro’s communist regime and building a life in America have deeply ingrained in her an appreciation for hardworking Americans trying to build lives for their families, but finding those lives turned upside down by the policies of the Biden administration:

I understand what happens to people, how hard it is to make ends meet. Again, I am not a career politician. We cannot defeat Blumenthal with a career politician who is the same type of politician as he is, who will vote the same way on the issues.

The Connecticut Republican Party endorsed former State Representative Themis Klarides, a pro-abortion rights Republican, at its convention in May.

At the end of the convention, the final delegate tally was 57 percent for Klarides, 22 percent for Levy, and 20 percent for immigration attorney Peter Lumaj of Fairfield.

In addition to being pro-abortion, Klarides also reportedly made known that she declined to vote for Donald Trump in 2020.

According to CT Mirror, Klarides anticipated an even higher convention tally, “but delegates said a late flurry of anonymous texts about her voting record and opposition to Trump seemed to exact a price,” the report noted.

In her statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Klarides announced she is “pro-choice and in the legislature worked to protect women’s right to access safe early-term abortion services.”.. (Excerpt from The Connecticut Star)
