Vote Tuesday in the Primary

Please vote in the Republican Primary on Tuesday August 14.

East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica has the endorsements of the Hartford Courant, the Norwich Bulletin and the New London Day.

All three papers credited Formica with his broad appeal to all
voters in the Second Congressional District and his ability to run a strong
campaign against Congressman Joe Courtney.

Paul Formica is the current First Selectman of East Lyme.  Paul and his wife are the owners of Flanders Fish Market and Restaurant which they established 29 years ago.

From the New London Day 8/6/2012

“To have any chance at victory, Republicans will need a candidate
who can peel off moderate Democrats as well as run strong with unaffiliated
voters. Mr. Formica is that candidate, Ms. Novak is most certainly
not.”

From the Hartford
Courant 8/4/2012

“The next Congress will need pragmatic people who are able to
break the gridlock in Washington and get some things done. In the Republican
primary for the 2nd Congressional District, the candidate most likely to fit
that bill is East Lyme First Selectman Paul M. Formica.”

From the Norwich Bulletin 8/5/2012

“A successful businessman and municipal leader, Formica brings to
the debate experience dealing with the issues and an understanding of the
political process. It is experience that neither his primary opponent nor past
GOP candidates — with the exception of former Congressman Rob Simmons, the last Republican to win this seat — have had.”

Paul Formica has been endorsed by over 35 First Selectmen, Mayors and State Representatives from across the Second Congressional District including Haddam's First Selectman Paul DeStefano.
