CCDL Endorses Stefanowski After Ugly Primary Charges.

The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) no longer rates Bob Stefanowski “shady, amateur or both.” That was last month in the the run-up to the Republican primary for governor when CCDL endorsed fourth place finisher Tim Herbst. The gun rights organization has endorsed the blank slate that is Stefanowski, a Democrat as recently as 2017, for the fall contest.

During the summer campaign, CCDL’s leader claimed Stefanowski used deceptive tactics to persuade gun rights supporters that he was the right choice in the crowded August 14th primary competition. Who would think a pawn shop executive and payday lender would do such a thing? All is forgiven but likely not forgotten.
