I met Penny in Jan and got a handwritten note from her within a few days ... but declined to go to her fundraiser in my town.
She seems sincere in her 2nd amendment support and is a strong campaigner.
On the other hand, I am not going to the convention, so I don’t get a vote. We’ll see whom she is running against in the primary ... see who qualifies. More to follow.
This state needs a high colonic big time!!
Penny has/had an 83% rating from FRC chapter Family Institute of Connecticut. And then when she declared for LT GOV, he made a point to state that she no longer was opposing same-sex marriage.
David Walker seems more my kind of candidate. I don’t know what he says about all the social issues that aren’t really issues in CT LT GOV races. Social conservatives should insist that conservatives be put on the CT Supreme Court and I think Foley and McKinney are untrustworthy regarding judges.

Bacchiochi voted against same-sex civil unions in 2005, a vote she likely wouldn’t cast today. “I really think I’ve evolved on that issue,” she said.
A biracial marriage has played a role. Two years ago, Bacchiochi, who was divorced with two sons from previous relationships, married Emil Igwenagu, a Nigerian immigrant she met at a junior college reunion in Worcester, Mass.
“So much goes back to your own experiences, and they help you to grow,” she said. “I know when Emil and I got married and we talked about it, it wasn’t that long ago in our history that a black and a white person couldn’t marry, and how foreign that sounded to me. Then that makes you think.”
