Republicans haven't had a whole lot of good news this political season both nationwide and here in Connecticut.
It was very sad news indeed, to learn earlier this month that after four decades of service to the Republican Party in various capacities, Pat Longo will not seek another term as Republican National Committeewoman.
Pat Longo
In politics, true friends are as rare as fancy pink diamonds and twice as valuable.
I am both honored and humbled to be able to call Pat Longo my friend.
Ms. Longo has been a trailblazing stalwart whose grace, expertise, and determination has been a guiding light for Republicans both here and in Washington.
Pat Longo leaves a void that is hard to fill.
That is why, it is good news indeed for Connecticut Republicans that Leora Levy is being considered a likely successor to the post.
In this writer's opinion, there is none better than Leora Levy to serve as the next Republican National Committeewoman for the great state of Connecticut.
Leora Levy
Mrs. Levy is a tireless crusader whose hard work and dedication have already been paying great dividends to both the RNC and CTGOP for years.
I do not know Mrs. Levy very well personally. We have spoken at length only once, during a meeting hosted by she and her husband Steve.
But first impressions are key. Leora immediately impressed me as a warm and gracious person who has a deep and abiding love for the country in which she lives and the party to which she faithfully volunteers so much of her heart and soul.
She is a leader with a servant's heart. It doesn't get much better than that.
For Connecticut Republicans, this news that Leora Levy may be our next Republican National Committeewoman should be as welcome as cool rain after a season of drought.
