CT: Democratic Candidate for US Senate Switches to Independent Party

From the PR Newswire:

GUILFORD, Conn., May 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Warren Mosler, Democratic Candidate for the U.S. Senate from Connecticut, will not be seeking the Democratic nomination on Friday, May 21, 2010. Instead, Mosler will be seeking the nomination for U.S. Senator with the Independent Party.

"I made a good faith effort to run as a Democrat, with my core economic values of lower taxes for people working for a living, real private sector jobs for all Americans willing and able to work, preserving Social Security, honest government, and a financial structure free of bailouts," said Mosler.  "While my national agenda to fix the economy was very well received by Democratic Town Committee meetings, meetings with Democratic State Representatives and Democratic Party leaders, the basis for the selection of the Democratic nominee was dominated by other considerations."
