Election 2010 - Primary Edition

The 2010 primary is quickly approaching, and the campaigns are definitely heating up on all fronts. Some of the political battles have reached a fever pitch, in terms of both intensity and negativity. I can’t remember the last time I got so much campaign literature during the month of August

While I have made no secret of being a registered Republican, I have always felt that it is important to get as much information out to the voters as possible.

With that in mind, below you will find tables listing all of the major party candidates that are going to appear on a ballot. I have also listed those candidates running with the Independent Party for those who are most familiar with Waterbury politics.

(Races that are shown in italics have a primary on the 10th.)

Just the Facts

Did you support the healthcare bill? Jim Himes voted yes. Dan Debicella was against it.

The stimulus? Jim Himes voted yes. Dan Debicella was opposed.

The bailout? Jim Himes was in favor. Dan Debicella said no.

Cap and trade? Jim Himes yes. Dan Debicella no.

End the secret ballot in union elections? Again, Jim Himes yes. Dan Debicella no.

Building a mosque at Ground Zero? Himes is not opposed to this plan. Debicella, on the other hand, opposes it.

Raising taxes? Himes yes. Debicella no.

If Jim Himes does not speak for you anymore, then you should know that you are not alone. By a wide margin, voters in Fairfield County oppose Himes’ position on each of these issues. If you want to support Dan Debicella, you can help his campaign here: https://debicella.blue-swarm.com/donate.
