New Britain Republican Chair to Challenge Gerratana in 6th Senate District

Dwight Blint says he's running to stop spending and record tax increases.

New Britain Republicans have endorsed their Town Committee Chairman Dwight Blint to challenge Democratic incumbent Terry Gerratana for the 6th Senate District seat in November.

The 6th District encompasses New Britain, part of Berlin and a small section of Farmington.

According to a press release from the New Britain Republicans, Blint said he is running for the seat because "state leaders need to stop taking and wasting our money. He promises if elected, he would vote "no" on any tax or fee increases and he would vote against any increase in state spending."

"Our representation has approved record tax increases, they continue to spend what we simply do not have, I wouldn't run my household budget that way and I don't think we should run our state government that way either," said Blint.
