Hi John — did you hear? A Republican running for Congress in Connecticut’s 5th district was just visited by the FBI due to his involvement in the Trump Ukraine scandal.

Let’s be clear: President Trump has inspired countless Republicans who are not fit for public office to launch campaigns across the country, even here in Connecticut. We need to be prepared with the resources to beat them.

We must mobilize to make sure that sanity and lawfulness prevail in 2020, but we can’t do it alone. Chip in now to help Connecticut Democrats organize and win this year.

John —

We’re not even three weeks into 2020, and already the Connecticut GOP has been forced to denounce a Republican running for Congress in Connecticut.

Robert Hyde is one of the Republicans trying to unseat Jahana Hayes this year. Yesterday, he was reportedly visited by the FBI due to his alleged involvement in the Ukraine saga that led to President Trump’s impeachment.

This story has received national attention, and it’s a perfect example of why we need to mobilize in support of Democratic victories this year. Donate to Connecticut Democrats now to ensure that we have the resources necessary to win throughout 2020.

The House Intelligence Committee released texts suggesting that Hyde was involved in efforts to surveil and remove a U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.

As CT Dems Chair Nancy Wyman said, Hyde is exactly the kind of candidate that Donald Trump inspires — someone who has no respect for women, the law or, common decency.

Chip in what you can now to support Connecticut Democrats and help us mobilize to defeat every Trump-inspired Republican running for office in our state this year.

Thank you,

Connecticut Democrats
