Former Congressman Rob Simmons has endorsed former television anchor woman Janet Peckinpaugh's bid to win his old seat.
"Janet Peckinpaugh is a trusted, independent voice in Connecticut," Simmons said in an email circulated by the Peckinpaugh campaign. "She will be a terrific Representative of Eastern Connecticut...and I am enthusiastically endorsing her candidacy."
Simmons called Peckinpaugh an "articulate spokeswoman for the issues that really matter to people: creating jobs through small business advocacy, standing up for the men and women who proudly wear the uniform of the United States military, fighting for SUBASE-New London, working to jumpstart action on Route 11 in Southeastern Connecticut, and representing all the people who feel like they've been left out of the loop by Nancy Pelosi's biggest supporter - Joe Courtney."
Anyone willing to place a bet on whether Simmons will endorse that other female pol with blonde hair who made her name in a field other than politics and is running for federal office this year?
