Barkhamsted RTC Endorses SOTS Candidate Brock Weber

February 21, 2022

Candidate for Secretary of the State, Brock Weber (R), spoke to the Barkhamsted RTC on February 21, 2022 and took questions and answers after his campaign speech. He easily addressed inquiries about election law and small business regulation. Thoroughly familiar with this state position, after being the campaign manager in 2014 for candidate Peter Lumaj who had record numbers in that race, Brock chose to run after asking many others if they were interested in entering this race and all declined.

His stance on cleaning up the voter rolls, instituting a voter ID, dismantling the SEEC, stopping mass mailing of unsolicited absentee ballot applications and requiring signature verification processes for absentee ballots is what anyone who is concerned about election integrity needs to hear.

The other role the SOTS office plays, is small business legislation. Brock told the BRTC, he will cut registration and filing costs by 70%, upgrade processing systems for increased efficiency , and push the legislature to allow for biannual business filings.

Hearing this, in addition to many members being familiar with Brock and his work history in politics as a dedicated Republican, the vote was unanimous to endorse Brock Weber for Secretary of the State.
