The DeLauro Factor

Wayne Winsley, committed to represent all the people of Connecticut's 3rd U.S. Congressional District

NAUGATUCK, CONN –
September 4:
Wayne Winsley, committed to represent all the people
of Connecticut’s 3rd U.S. Congressional District, today released the
following statement.

“Between 2008 and 2011, while so many of our fellow citizens were
losing jobs and family incomes were shrinking, the personal wealth of Incumbent DeLauro ballooned from about 5
million dollars to over 17 million.” 

“That’s a financial growth factor of more than 3X.   Such a
‘DeLauro factor’ is clear.

This
‘DeLauro factor’ suggests that this incumbent has been working only on monetary
success for herself and her family - instead of appropriately focusing her work
on behalf of all the people.  Consider the following:


  • Imagine… if - instead
    - Incumbent DeLauro had worked… to grow Working Family incomes by that factor
    of 3X?

  • Imagine… if - instead
    - Incumbent DeLauro had worked… to grow private businesses by that factor of
    3X?

  • Imagine… if - instead
    - Incumbent DeLauro had worked… to grow new jobs by that factor of 3X?

  • Imagine… if - Incumbent DeLauro, who has been in the job for 22 years had truly worked…
         for all the people?

  • Regrettably,
    wishful imagination is not the reality.  The
    ‘DeLauro factor’ facts tell us the disturbing truth.  Again:

    • DeLauro family income
      ballooned by a factor of 3X; while working families lost more than $3,000 of
      income.

    • Meanwhile, across Connecticut,
      more than 163,000 citizens search for work having been cast adrift on the sea
      of unemployment by DeLauro, her disciples in the Congressional Delegation and the
      State Government majority.

    The
    bottom line:

    Incumbent
    DeLauro isn’t working for the people
    because Incumbent ‘DeLauro… hasn’t worked… for
    all the people
    .

    For
    many more people to get - and keep - jobs, it’s time for Incumbent DeLauro to
    lose hers.  It’s time to let her go.”

    My
    Pledge
                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                       “I, Wayne
    Winsley, will serve the citizens of the Third Congressional District with forthrightness,
    honor, and integrity.                                                 As your representative in the congress, every
    citizen can count on me to work tirelessly to get government out of the way of
    business and individual entrepreneurs so that every private enterprise can grow,
    create more jobs, and hire more people.”
