Foley for Governor Campaign UpdateJune 3, 2010 On Saturday, May 22nd my campaign won the endorsement of the Connecticut Republican Party on the first ballot at the Republican Convention. The victory signaled resounding support for new leadership and a new direction in Hartford. It would not have happened without broad support from across the state following my year on the campaign trail and the hard work of my campaign team. With the convention behind us, we are preparing for a primary and then the general election. No one will work harder than I will to get elected and no one will work harder than I will to help other Republicans get elected. Please stay closely involved with my campaign and the other primary races up and down the Republican Party. Your engagement will help us win in both August and November. Best, Tom Tom is now the endorsed Republican candidate for Governor! A quick highlight from Tom's convention acceptence speech: "I make you this pledge today. I will work as hard as I can to win and I will work as hard as I can to get other Republicans elected so we can take back our state, take back our ideals, our dreams, and restore the sound principles that made our state and our country so great. To achieve our vision for the future of Connecticut we need to elect more Republicans to the house, more Republicans to the Senate, and more Republicans to statewide office. Let's not miss this opportunity. It won't be here forever. Let's work together toward victory in November. The time is ours."
