Submitted by Jane Sprung, a Republican in Greenwich
This year’s BET primary is different from anything most Republicans have seen before. There will be twelve Republican names on the ballot — but you can only vote for six.
That sounds simple, but here’s the catch: if Republicans split their votes, we could lose control again. Last term, just one flipped vote on the BET gave Democrats the power to control committees, steer priorities, and even push for higher taxes — despite Republicans winning the election.
We can’t afford to let that happen twice.
That’s why I am supporting the full slate of incumbents David Alfano, Nisha Arora, and Lucia Jansen, joined by Alessandra Brus, Phil Dodson, and John Hopley. They are Republicans who understand what’s at stake and have the experience to protect taxpayers.
To make sure our majority counts, Republicans must:
-
Vote for all 6 of these candidates.
-
Don’t leave blanks.
-
Don’t split your vote across slates.
Every check mark matters. This is a low-turnout primary, and a handful of votes will decide whether Republicans control a $600 million budget — or Democrats do.
I’ll be voting for Alfano, Arora, Brus, Dodson, Hopley, and Jansen. Please join me, and let’s keep the BET firmly in Republican hands.
