Torres, who fled Cuba in the 1960s and settled in Bridgeport, is running for the seat currently held by Democrat Jim Himes.
“Mr. Torres is a proven conservative leader who pledges to shrink the size of Government, reduce spending, and provide tax relief for all Americans,” Jesse Haskell, chair of the Conservative Party, said in a statement announcing the endorsement. “Mr. Torres brings a wealth of experience, Constitutional knowledge, and common sense solutions to the United States House of Representatives.”
