There has been a great deal of focus put on next week's election for the Chairmanship of the CT GOP.

Ben Proto currently holds the position.

I spoke with Mr. Proto today, and here is what he told me.

First, I asked about the article written by Sheila Gallo of AbleChild. The article makes allegations of lack of transparency of CT GOP operations, and lack of help for MAGA candidates.

Mr. Proto said the article was not factual, and he questioned why 'someone from St. Louis,' meaning the author Joe Hoft, would be interested in Connecticut politics.

Of course, it is no secret that Connecticut is controlled by a Democrat super-majority in the legislature, and is trending heavily Marxist, so The Constitution State is naturally a focus of national politics during this Marxist revolution happening across the U.S.

Mr. Proto also took umbrage at allegations he was 'anti-MAGA' saying he holds multiple events a week to support Trump policies, and allegations by recent GOP MAGA candidates were also not factual.

Mr. Proto said the information needed for CT GOP candidates is on the state GOP website. When I asked about contact information for state GOP representatives that will be voting next week, so candidates could campaign, he said, "I'd have to check. We just redid the website with the RNC and he didn't know if the information was there."

When questioned about his possible challenger, Jason Douglass, Proto said he had never heard of him, and had been told he had no political experience.

I also asked him about a video clip going around which showed Proto saying he would not have dinner with President Donald Trump, Proto said it was a joke and taken out of context.

Mr. Proto did agree to take further questions if we needed to ask them.

I find Ben Proto to be a resentful smarmy prick who does nothing to aid MAGA in Connecticut despite his claim he does, and it is apparent at the local town level too. The facts are politically experienced people are not what is needed. Fresh viewpoints and ideas are required, to overcome the balderdash of Democratic ineptitude. The writing is on the wall. New blood is needed.

Mr. Proto, regarding the context, please expand and clarify. It’s no joke to us. Winning back CT is a serious matter.

Here’s a finite math thought which dismisses your dismissing: before you hear of someone, there is a point where you have never heard of someone.

Btw, how’s the fundraising going?

Is your political experience giving us a clear advantage? Please expand.
In your endeavor to earn reelection, did you visit/meet with Republican Town Committees to ply your political strengths and earn your office?

What are your plans for prolific fundraising? Do you have the help of our state’s conservative billionaires/ millionaires?

Please speak about the quality of support and quantity of funds remitted to our Senate candidate 2024 and Senate candidate in a three way primary 2022.
