Longo and Frey Bring Christie to Connecticut for Cigars and Party Building PAC.

Republican National Committee members Pat Longo and John Frey are doing the heavy lifting of raising money for party building efforts. The popular duo are bringing New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Republican National Committee co-chair Sharon Day to New Haven on June 16th as the star attraction for Longo and Frey’s organization, CT Leadership PAC.

Christie became familiar with Connecticut Republican politics when he invested millions in Republican Governor Association money in an effort to drag Tom Foley (#ThrewItAway) over the finish line first in last fall’s race for governor. Christie is said now and then to be considering a bid for president as he ponders his manifold troubles in New Jersey.

The suggested contribution for the event from individual donors is $125 and $750 for federal PACs.

The trio of candidates seeking to become state party chair are co-sponsors of the event, which will be held The Owl Shoppe. The gathering could provide an opportunity for others to test sentiments as no clear frontrunner has emerged in the long march. Party building–instead of travel–will be a priority for the next chair in the aftermath of the staggering failures of the Labriola years.
