As Connecticut’s first Business Advocate, I visited over 400 businesses to hear first hand about the job-killing burden of high taxes and red-tape. As a Congressman and state legislator I supported policies to promote economic growth and job creation.  As your Senator, I will fight for our free enterprise system and support the small businesses that create jobs and are the foundation of our economy.

Government bailouts and massive government spending packages disguised as “stimulus” have failed. Our national deficit is out of control and is threatening to bankrupt America.

I am honored to have served in the U.S. Army and the CIA, putting my life on the line on difficult and dangerous missions abroad to protect our people and our interests. America owes no apologies for supporting freedom and democracy abroad. As a Vietnam veteran and former intelligence officer, I will work tirelessly in the Senate to strengthen our national security both at home and abroad. I will fight to ensure that our military remains the best in the world, and that our veterans receive all the benefits they have earned. (Learn More)
