Peter Lumaj Calls on Leora Levy to Join Ceasefire as Themis Klarides Mourns the Death of Her Mother.
Republican Senate hopeful Peter Lumaj Tuesday morning urged rival Leora Levy to participate in a ceasefire while party-endorsed candidate Themis Klarides mourns the death of her mother and participates in the rituals that accompany it.
| Lumaj wrote, “What strikes me as morally reprehensible was Leora Levy’s decision to launch a massive personal attack against Themis Klarides while her family is grieving the passing of her mother.” |
Lumaj and Levy are battling for the support of rightwing primary voters in their August 9th contest against Klarides. Levy, who was once a donor to Democrat Richard Blumenthal, has launched a series of attacks claiming Klarides is a “Democrat in disguise.”
The three candidates’ most recent campaign finance reports reveal each had only several hundred thousand dollars on hand for the final push to the primary. Levy has loaned $800,000 to her campaign and paid herself back $250,000.
