Folk Wins SRTC Endorsement

Submitted release

Simsbury, CT – At the Wednesday, May 2, 2012 monthly meeting, the Simsbury Republican Town Committee unanimously voted to endorse Charity Folk as their State Representative candidate for the 16th District.   Barbara Pettijean, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, presented Ms. Folk as the committee’s unanimous recommendation for State Representative.  Ms. Pettijean stated “On behalf of the committee I am pleased to present Ms. Folk as a strong, qualified and exciting candidate for the upcoming race”.   Ms. Folk will now proceed to the republican caucus to be held on May 22nd.

Ms. Folk thanked members of the town committee for their belief in her candidacy and looks forward to working with town Republicans to gain back a seat in the legislature.

Ms. Folk stated that she is running on the message of Simple Math, spend no more than you make; Balanced Legislature, fosters debate and compromise; and Strong Business, generates jobs, not government.

In addition, Ms. Folk commented that the current democratically controlled legislature has introduced same day voter registration, repeal of the death penalty, minimum wage increase and forced unionization of day care workers during a short session which should have been focused on our State’s out of control spending and enormous debt.  She hopes to win an additional Republican seat in order to prevent a super majority controlling the State’s future.
