The Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a state-wide grass roots organization dedicated to supporting second amendment rights, has pledged their support to Jerry Labriola in his race for the United States Congress.

"Jerry has been with us almost literally since day one," said Scott Wilson, president of the CCDL. "He has been meeting with us to hear our concerns since we were a small organization with just a handful of members. We have had the opportunity to speak with him at length regarding the second amendment, and his commitment to our cause is abundantly clear. CCDL enthusiastically endorses Jerry Labriola. The people of Connecticut can hope for no better champion for their second amendment rights in Washington."

“I’m honored to have received this endorsement.” remarked Labriola, the republican nominee for the 3rd Congressional District. “This is a terrific group of citizens who have grown their ranks tremendously in the last year, and truly represents a cross-section of the 3rd District. Their advocacy and enthusiasm for upholding citizen rights guaranteed by the Constitution is commendable and I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.” Labriola said.
