I am honored to receive the official nomination of the Independent Party of CT and glad to hear the Secretary of the State arrived at a satisfactory outcome for all voters. Now, voters all over Connecticut are one critical step closer to having a third choice -- a choice right down the middle -- on the November 8th ballot which is what this is really about. I believe healthy competition between the left, right and new middle is fundamental to a well-functioning democracy and economy. I believe competing for votes leads to a greater variety of ideas, lower costs of living, higher quality services, and more innovation," Hotaling said. "This resolution by the SOTS sends a loud and clear message that the Independent Party is here to stay as the third largest party in Connecticut representing centrists, moderates, independents and the unaffiliated. When candidates compete to attract voters, they become more accountable by having to clearly demonstrate the ability to increase the quality of life for millions of Connecticut residents. This includes strengthening the economy by adding or expanding jobs and businesses, reducing the cost of living, reducing crime and improving safety, closing the achievement gap, stopping the school-to-prison pipeline, protecting civil and abortion rights, and more. It’s not about me, it’s about less options leading to poorer outcomes. This is why electoral reform is so central to our campaign -- it's fundamental to unlocking constant competition beyond a few key figures from either major party who often control the direction of their parties and the state. And why my nomination is so important to Connecticut's future as a new, fresh, dynamic, highly qualified, and viable third choice.” https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Secretary-of-the-State-says-it-can-t-help-Bob-17400467.php

Luz and I on News 12 Connecticut yesterday for the Puerto Rican Parade of Fairfield County. The @CTINDPARTY is back!! We met hundreds of people - most expressing their support as unaffiliated and they want a 3rd option with me on the ballot Nov 8th

Bob Stefanowski, the presumptive Republican candidate for governor in the upcoming election, is attempting to “usurp” control of a third party away from the party’s leadership in order to obtain a second line on the ballot, party leaders said.

Long perceived as simply a second ballot line for the Republican Party, Connecticut’s Independent Party has begun to shift its endorsements to include more Democrats and candidates not supported by either major party, a Connecticut Examiner analysis of state election data finds.
