NRCC Names Esty One Of Most Corrupt Candidates

The National Republican Congressional Committee has a new ad that targets Democrat Elizabeth Esty.

It talks about how Esty, a Democrat, has received congressional campaign contributions from corporations or lobbyists who are regulated by her husband’s state agency.

Her husband, Dan, is commissioner of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

The state Democratic Party responded to the new ad Wednesday by issuing a press release.

“Andrew Roraback and the NRCC don’t seem to understand that in the 21′st century both a husband and a wife can both pursue public service,” said Nancy DiNardo, party chairwoman, in the release.
