Norwich - State Rep. Chris Coutu, R-Norwich, newly tanned and muscled and ready to battle Democrat Joe Courtney for the 2nd Congressional District seat, returned home last week after 2½ months of military training in South Carolina.

"It feels good to be back," the 35-year-old Army National Guardsman said.

Coutu's leave of absence - Feb. 5 to April 24 - allowed him to complete a required branch officer leadership course at Fort Jackson, S.C. He had until November to finish the training or risk losing his position in the military.

Lieutenant Governor Mike Fedele Endorses Coutu

By Chris Covucci, on Apr 4, 2012

NORWICH, CT - April 3, 2012 - The Chris Coutu for Congress campaign today announced the endorsement of Lieutenant Governor Mike Fedele.

 

“I’m proud to support Chris while he is training with the National Guard to serve his country,” said Fedele. “With 17 years of military experience, Chris knows how to lead. I worked with Chris on his American Warrior non-profit, sending World War II veterans to Washington DC, and learned about his passion to serve. In Hartford, I saw Chris’ ability to lead, to stand up for the right thing, and to fight the status quo.”

 

Fedele continued, “I’m supporting Chris’ campaign because Washington needs that same fighting attitude. Chris knows the issues and he knows how to get things done. He’s ready to step into office and make a difference.”

By Admin, on Mar 4, 2012

With the endorsements of the Sprague and Bolton Town Committees (RTCs) this week, Chris now has the most Town Committee endorsements for any Republican or Democrat candidate in Connecticut.  

 

The grassroots activists across the state recognize that Chris is a proven leader with the experience to take on Washington.  We're gaining momentum everyday, even while Chris is serving in the Army National Guard on a two and a half month training assignment.  Voters are rallying behind Chris while he serves his country.  Team Coutu volunteers have visited 20 RTCs and over a dozen events while Chris has been away.
