Fairfield - Today, Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst and Representative DebraLee Hovey endorsed Russo for Congress.

Below are quotes from each individual on why they are endorsing Rob Russo:

"Rob understands the importance of creating jobs and he further understands that to grow our economy, we must support small businesses."  said Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst. "Rob was a key architect in my 10 point victory over an 8-year incumbent and I know he can replicate that success against Jim Himes in November."

State Representative DebraLee Hovey said, "The diversity of the roles Rob has played in the community make him the most qualified candidate to defeat Jim Himes in November."

In response to these endorsements Rob Russo said, "I am thankful to have the support of such respected leaders in our state. These endorsements show our campaign continues to gain momentum each day. Each of these leaders won their races by committing supporting smaller more effective government. That same message will lead me to victory against Jim Himes.”
