ICYMI Leora Levy Denounces CT Misinformation Officer Position
GREENWICH, CT - Ahead of the 2022 midterm election, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Secretary of State Denise Merrill announced they would be allocating $150,000 for an individual to monitor social media and news sources for misinformation regarding the election. A recent article in the Hartford Courant highlighted Republican candidate for Senate Leora Levy as a prominent dissenter against the taxpayer funded position.
A philanthropist, activist, former international commodities trader, and community leader, Leora is the principled Conservative outsider who will clean up the Washington swamp and serve as a voice for Connecticut residents. In addition to being nominated to serve as the US Ambassador to Chile by former President Trump, Leora is a leader on providing aid to our active duty men and women who have been injured in combat overseas as well as to our veterans.
“... Leora Levy, a conservative who is running in the Aug. 9 primary for U.S. Senate, was the first prominent candidate to recently blast the idea, landing her an interview with anchor Greg Kelly on Newsmax.
“People should have the right and the ability to come to their own conclusions, based on the legitimate news that they read from legitimate news sources — not from the government,” Levy said on Newsmax. “To me, as someone who escaped Cuba and escaped communism, I feel I am living through an Orwellian or Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged experience.”
