Republican Canidate Rick Torres Contrasts Himself From Competitors

Rick Torres, candidate in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional district, today highlighted what he believes to be the critical distinctions between him and his rivals in the race.

“While I believe anyone who runs for office to better our country deserves respect, only certain policies warrant support,” Torres said. “Labels are too often misleading, which is why policies matter.”

To illustrate, Torres points to a recent press release by rival Rob Merkle, who professes to be a fiscal conservative. In the release, Merkle claims to be a ‘”small business owner who strives to reduce the size, reach and burden of the federal government.”

“His policies do anything but reduce the size of government,” Torres notes. “He is merely another big-government Republican.”

Torres points to just two of the many big government solutions Merkle advocates:

1. In a poor attempt to 'help' the economy, Merkle praises the SBA loan program. “The Small Business Administration is a government agency which actually takes taxpayer monies and decides who to loan it to. It is another form of corporate welfare,” Torres says.

2. Another of Merkle’s poor attempts to revive the economy is virtually identical to the 'jobs plan' of Barack Obama. It is to “mandate” banks to make loans to small businesses. Torres points out that banks are private enterprises. “Government mandating banks to give loans to property owners resulted in the near collapse of our economy. Yet Merkle wants the government to repeat this same mistake and hopes for a different outcome.”

“These policies led to the budget deficits, tax increases and unemployment we have today. We cannot spend our way out of a recession or tax our way to prosperity. Clearly, a conservative should know this,” Torres asserted.

Congressional Candidate Rick Torres Receives Endorsement of Conservative Party

The Conservative Party of Connecticut has endorsed Bridgeport resident Rick Torres for U.S. Congress.

Torres, who lives in Black Rock and owns and operates the neighborhood’s Harborview Market with his wife Michele, is seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic freshman U.S. Rep. Jim Himes.

The Conservative Party’s written endorsement described Torres as “a first-generation Cuban immigrant who has lived the American dream.”

A party release from Jesse Haskell, Connecticut Conservative Party USA chairman, stated that Torres “fled communist Cuba in the 1960s and arrived in Connecticut with literally the clothes on his back. He grew up in an impoverished neighborhood but never stopped believing things would get better. In high school he excelled in both athletics and academics, which earned him a scholarship to Washington University.”

The party endorsement described Torres as “a proven conservative leader who pledges to shrink the size of government, reduce spending, and provide tax relief for all Americans.”

Torres ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2003, running well for a Republican against Mayor John Fabrizi. He served as city Republican Town Committee chairman before being forced out after endorsing Democratic state Rep. Christopher L. Caruso in the 2007 election.

He is one of a handful of Republicans seeking the GOP nomination this fall, including former state Sen. Rob Russo of Bridgeport.
