Peter Lumaj, CT Republican Candidate for Governor 2018

January 15, 2018

Barkhamsted, CT

The Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee held its first meeting of the New Year, with guest Peter Lumaj, Republican Candidate for Governor. The committee has always been inspired by this conservative Republican who stands on strong principles and is a firm supporter of the Constitution. Barkhamsted’s three delegates at the State Convention have always cast their votes for Lumaj.

In 2014, Lumaj, ran for statewide office as the Republican Secretary of the State candidate. Lumaj’s opponent, an incumbent with a long history in the Connecticut General Assembly who was close to her party leadership, was tough to beat. However, for someone new to state voters, Peter appealed to people across the board, and gained almost a half million votes with his message for change in corrupt election law.

Now, as a candidate for Governor, in an open race since sitting Democrat Governor Malloy is not seeking a third term, as the most unliked Governor in the United States, Lumaj is one of many seeking the Party nomination.

In his view, he said in the second debate held in Hebron last week, “I am the only real Republican on this stage.” As a man of conviction, vision and who as an outsider can take office without any binding strings beholding him to the status quo in Hartford, Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee members endorsed him Monday night. A few members who also planned to cast their votes for Peter, were unable to attend but support the committee’s decision.

Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee Chair, Juliana Simone, held a Christmas party and campaign fundraiser for gubernatorial candidate Peter Lumaj in mid-December at her home. Some of the guests included Avon RTC Vice Chair Stephen Hunt, newly-elected Barkhamsted Board of Selectman Nick Lukiwsky, former veteran Waterbury Alderman Jerry Padula, Winsted’s Ray Robago and Rev. Steve Blackburn, Ph.D. who is the treasurer for the BRTC and also served in this capacity for Lumaj’s Secretary of the State campaign 2014 and Padula’s Judge of Probate campaign this past municipal cycle 2017.

Christmas carols were played and a variety of food was laid out for guests including a punch bowl of seasonal eggnog. Republican and conservative candidate, Peter Lumaj, was happy to have one-on-one conversations about the future of Connecticut. He discussed his plans as Governor on how to give Connecticut a fresh start by implementing business friendly legislation to keep or bring corporations and jobs here, in addition to relief for the heavily burdened taxpayers who for many years have paid some of the highest taxes in the country.

Lumaj, surprised both the Democrat Party and the media covering his race in 2014 against Secretary of the State, Denise Merrill, when he came close to winning the constitutional seat by four points, and on Election night was often ahead in returns until the large city results came in with their usual Democrat strongholds. Lumaj fought heavily against continued voter fraud, voter I.D. qualifications and cutting spending in the SOTS office, whereas incumbent Merrill ran on making all votes cast easier, sooner and with less interest into voter fraud complaints.

As a candidate for Governor, although Lumaj’s policies are much broader as the head of the state, the category and importance of election law is still important to him after learning firsthand how corrupt the system is when seeking this office.
