Peckinpaugh: 'Democrat's Lame Attack Won't Fool Anyone'


Janet Peckinpaugh, Candidate for the 36th District, issued the following statement Tuesday concerning the complaint Filed by the Connecticut Democrats with the Federal Election Commission.

"The Democrats in Hartford are afraid that I will be elected to represent the people of Essex, Deep River, Haddam and Chester and this complaint is simply a diversion that will not fool anyone."

"If there is missing information in the report or there are any shortcomings in the filings, my Treasurer and I will review them and file an amended report with the Federal Election Commission as soon as possible."

"The real issue is who will offer the kind of honest leadership we need in the 36th District and who understands what working people are dealing with each and every day As someone who is self-employed, I know we cannot accept larger government, more state spending and more taxes."

"Democrats in Hartford believe otherwise and are fearful of having anyone stand in their way or add to the voices of those who have had enough."

"My opponent seems more concerned with getting another taxpayer funded paycheck and pension than representing the taxpayers against higher spending and more government. I look forward to debating his record in Essex and my positions on the issues which voters care about."
