On the eve of next Tuesday's primary elections, the Tea Party movement is returning to Norwalk to drum its message of fiscal conservatism and smaller government and tip voters toward candidates who share those views. The rally is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. outside Norwalk City Hall, 125 East Ave.
"There were a couple hundred people last time and we expect more this time," said Robert Willis, coordinator for the Fairfield County Tea Party, referring to a rally in May at City Hall. "We want to call attention to the (Republican) primary. We're going to have some speakers and candidates." Merkle said Martha A. Dean, the endorsed Republican candidate for the office of state attorney general, will be at the rally, as well as Rob Merkle, the Norwalk Republican hoping to win next Tuesday's Republican primary election for the 4th Congressional District and defeat Democratic incumbent Jim Himes in the November general election.
"The Tea Party supporters and groups are trying to get the candidate we believe can beat Jim Himes," Willis said. "We're just trying to educate the public on candidates, on who we support, and are urging everyone to vote in the primary on Aug. 10."
