Both the Family Institute of Connecticut and Right Principles are backing Martha Dean, a Republican running for attorney general.
"Martha recognizes that for our CT communities to thrive, the state's competitive advantage must be restored,'' Bob MacGuffie, founder of Right Principles. "We believe she will work to create an environment where business can prosper. Martha has vowed to change the climate of intimidation currently emanating from the AG's office. She will work to end eminent domain abuses so that private property is not unjustly taken from citizens. She will also oppose the excessive, improper or unnecessary government mandates and regulations currently burdening private enterprise."
Last month, Dean became the first ever candidate for statewide office to win the backing of the Family Institute of Connecticut.
"Martha is pro-family and can articulate our values. And she can win,'' FIC Executive Director Peter Wolfgang said in an email trumpeting the endorsement.
