Stamford, CT

Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee members, Chair Juliana Simone, and Treasurer Steve Blackburn, attended the 39th Annual Prescott Bush Awards Dinner at the Stamford Hilton last night.  Among our group of four, was Waterbury Alderman and candidate for Probate Judge, Jerry Padula, and CTRA (Connecticut Republican Assembly) chapter of the National Federation of the Republican Assemblies, officer Mike Mnich.

Guests of former CT-5 nominee Mark Greenberg, who is currently seeking the office of State Comptroller in 2018, and District Eight State Central members Rich Tutunjian and Marianne Clark, Barkhamsted’s RTC officers enjoyed the presentations by keynote speakers Governor Matt Bevin (KY-R) and Governor Chris Sununu (NH-R) who both had compelling stories on how they won, why, and what was involved to earn this title in dealing with their own Republican Party.

Connecticut’s State Senator President Pro Tempore Len Fasano and House Minority Leader Themis Klarides also received accolades for their passing the first bipartisan budget in the CGA in decades.

Democrat Governor Malloy is expected to veto this budget.
