Barkhamsted, CT

The Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee had a successful evening on Monday, September 15th in the town Community Center. Many thanks to all who attended. Guests included 2026 Lt. Governor Candidate, Matthew Corey, Former and hopefully future candidate State Senator Lisa Seminara (SD08), State Central Committee member Kevin Beal (SD08) a member of the Simsbury Board of Selectman and former SRTC Chairman, plus our many municipal candidates seeking election or reelection this November. (State Representative Mark Anderson (R-62) could not be with us as he was away on a well deserved vacation.)

First Selectman candidate BOS member Mark Mahoney addressed attendees, as did sitting First Selectman BOS candidate Nick Lukiwsky, who explained why Board of Education members Stacy Heath, Amanda North, should be reelected. Robert Brainard III, who is not up for reelection this year on the BOE, is on this November’s ballot for his veteran position on the Board of Assessment Appeals. He currently sits as the BAA Chairman with an excellent record.

Barkhamsted RTC Chair, Juliana Simone, introduced the first three speakers, and FS candidate Mark Mahoney introduced the municipal candidates on hand. Also attending were BRTC officers Vice Chair, David Moulton, Treasurer Steven Blackburn, and Secretary Michael Stewart.

Many thanks to Bill Bowles who made food any chef would be proud of, in addition to members and nonmembers who brought food, beverages or gift items for the evening raffle. Big thanks to the supporters who came who are not affiliated with the Republican Party, but plan on voting for Mark Mahoney on Election Day.

“Conservative Chat” – Tonight, Thursday, October 25th, 2018 at 7:00 P.M. the Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee repeats the half-hour interview on Charter Cable Channel 191 with Candidate for U.S. Senate, Matthew Corey (R-CT), and Barkhamsted RTC Chair and Host, Juliana Simone.

This program will repeat Sunday, May 20th at 7:30 P.M. on Charter Cable Channel 191.

For those outside of the viewing area or who do not subscribe to Spectrum/Charter Communications, this episode can be seen on YouTube on the Conservative Chat channel. Search:

“Conservative Chat” Matthew Corey U.S. Senate

 

Update: ICYMI:Conservative Chat: Congressional Candidate Matthew Corey 10/27/16 7PM Charter Cable with direct link to show online

The original link, will no longer bring up this episode, but the interview can still be viewed at this moment, by going to the Charter website www. ctv13.net although it involves many hoops to see the program.

As I write this, an interested viewer or voter, can go to the home page, click watch programs, and use the search bar to find the show. However, “Conservative Chat” with or without the apostrophes will only bring up ‘no results found.’

The Charter Studio manager who does a great job for us, told me he wasn’t sure why, but now only if someone logging on to the site puts in Conservative, without apostrophes, will the search produce results, and bring up the show’s last two interviews.

Even if you click on the play arrow to watch the show, nothing will happen. When I first started to post this, I noted one had to scroll down a bit to “program information” and within that box, could click the arrow and watch the interview. That arrow has now disappeared, too. The Charter Studio manager has since wrote me has corrected some of these issues, but anyone interested in watching an interview online, still has to put only the word Conservative in the search bar, or one can click on either of these two links recently provided:

“Conservative Chat” – a show brought to the public from the Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee and airs in six local towns Thursdays at 7PM, on Charter cable channel 191, is uplinked online the following week of the original broadcast, at www.ctv13.net

This latest episode features First Congressional Republican candidate, Matthew Corey, as he challenges the entrenched democrat opponent who has been in Washington since 1999.

Mr. Larson, is still perceived by some voters as a moderate democrat, but he left that group far behind many terms ago. A higher up in his caucus leadership, he has been in lockstep with liberal, Nancy Pelosi (CA-12 ),  both when she had the title of House Majority Leader and now House Minority Leader.

In this latest program, Corey and Simone talk about the many issues the democrat’s under President Obama’s two terms, that have harmed our country, our military, our values and overall view of America across the world – from both our allies and enemies.

Candidate Matthew Corey, a hard working small business owner who has invested in Hartford, owns both a skyscraper window cleaning business and a tavern. Clear on policy, he makes many comments in this show that cover everything from the failed program of Obamacare, the immense national debt the Connecticut federal democrat incumbents never address, the excessive taxation the democrats have also burdened our citizens with on whatever income level, and Donald Trump, and what in his view, are his best policy plans if elected.
