It Continues: Stemerman Replies to Stefanowski and Lists His Contributions.

The Stemerman campaign provides this response to the Stefanowski reaction to today’s attack ad on the former payday lender executive. Are you following this? From Stemerman spokesman Albert Eisenberg:

“The contrast in this race could not be more clear – David has been a registered Republican for over 15 years and has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and conservative organizations over that same period of time.   Bob Stefanowski not only didn’t vote for over 15 years or support our last three Republican Presidential nominees, but he was a registered Democrat who donated to fellow Democrats right up until he decided to run for Governor last year.  That’s called being an opportunist, not a party loyalist.  The facts speak for themselves and Republicans in Connecticut deserve to know them.”  

Here’s a list of some of David Stemerman’s federal campaign contributions to Republicans.

• $15,000 to the Connecticut Republican Party (2014 & 2017)
• $100,000 to Top Republican Super PAC (American Crossroads in 2012)
• $30,000 to the Republican National Committee (2012)
• $10,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (2012)
• $5,000 to Mitt Romney (2012)
• $1,000 to John McCain (2008)
• $2,300 to Rudy Giuliani (2007)

Stemerman also contributed to Steve Obsitnik’s 2014 congressional campaign.

State Republicans have had considerable practice weighing a Republican candidate’s contributions to a Democrat. Connecticut Republican Linda McMahon, a prodigious self-funder in 2010 and 2012, was a generous financial supporter of Chicago Democrat Rahm Emanuel, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Virginia Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Warner.
