Waterbury Republican Sam Caligiuri, who won the Republican primary earlier this month, has been endorsed by the Independent Party of Connecticut in the Fifth Congressional District.
"The Independent Party is proud to endorse Sam Caligiuri's candidacy. This Congress has promoted policies of over-taxation and over-regulation. Sam will help combat this agenda by fighting for individual freedoms and supporting our free market economy,'' Dr. Robert Fand said in a statement.
In his own statement, Caligiuri said he appreciates the party's work "to engage voters who want to correct the course our nation is on, but who may not identify strictly with one party or another. I am eager to offer independent voters a better way forward to a thriving economy.''
