No. of Pages: 1

Democratic Secretary of the State 2006 Candidate Audrey Blondin announced today that for the time being she is staying in the race for CT Secretary of the State.

Blondin stated: “I have been campaigning for almost a year for this position and have visited over eighty Democratic Town Committees throughout our state.

I care very deeply about the issues we have been discussing throughout the campaign: ethics, support for small businesses, campaign finance reform, more voter participation and increasing local communication and outreach as we now face the transition to voter verified electronic paper trail voting machines.

For the last two weeks, I have been speaking to supporters and political leaders around the state. Right now statewide the political situation is too fluid and up in the air for anyone to make an informed decision about next year’s political races.

I believe it is best now to take a wait and see approach before making a final decision. The time now is to focus on getting Democrats elected locally in our municipal races and then we can turn our attention to next year’s statewide races.”
