HARTFORD, Conn. – Joe Visconti, who shook up the 2014 gubernatorial contest by petitioning his way onto the ballot, announced Wednesday that he’s exploring a run against U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
“The political ambitions of the Democrat Party and Senator Richard Blumenthal are on a collision course with their fiscal delusions, failures and lies for which we are forced to pay,” Visconti said.
“From increased reckless spending, to subsidizing Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear warhead, to infringing on our Second Amendment right for self-defense, Richard Blumenthal and the Democrat Party’s agenda is unsafe at any speed.”
Visconti, a contractor from West Hartford who served one term on the town council, has largely remained out of the political spotlight since dropping out the governor’s race the weekend before the 2014 election and endorsing Republican Tom Foley. Visconti remained on the ballot and received about 11,000 votes, but he didn’t play the role of spoiler because it wasn’t enough to hand Foley the election.
