FAIRFIELD – Bob MacGuffie has been throwing nasty sliders at Jim Himes since 2009, when the Democratic congressman from Connecticut’s Fourth District was in his first year in office and the Tea Party was emerging.
He has video on his campaign web site from Himes’ town meetings to prove it.
“I came out of Queens,” said MacGuffie in an interview with Patch.com. “I came out of the school yards. I was small. Naturally you get picked on. So naturally I developed a sharp tongue and dressed these guys down.”
Sacred Heart University Professor Gary Rose, who wrote a book on the Fourth District in 2011, stated in an e-mail interview with Patch.com: “MacGuffie is waging a bare-knuckle campaign intended to unseat Congressman Himes. As a candidate, MacGuffie is quite unlike the previous Republicans who have sought to unseat the congressman. MacGuffie's style is hard hitting, provocative and he has conducted an impressive amount of research regarding Himes' position and votes on a variety of national issues.”.................
I will make the 2024 election a referendum on Jim Himes’ failed 15-year rule.
