Chamber of Commerce to help Lieberman (and 3 endangered reps)

[NewJeffCT]

>>>
The country's biggest business lobby has begun an extensive advertising campaign expected to back the re-election of U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who is running as an independent candidate following his defeat in the Democratic primary, and Connecticut's three incumbent House Republicans.

The lobby, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is backing U.S. Reps. Robert R. Simmons, R-2nd District, Christopher Shays, R-4th District, and Nancy L. Johnson, R-5th District.

Chamber officials say that, as part of its effort to protect more than 30 pro-business members of Congress in competitive races, they also may provide direct mail and phone-bank support to the Connecticut candidates.

A spokeswoman for the business group, Linda Rozett, said today that it already has begun advertising on Connecticut television stations on behalf of Simmons, Shays, and Johnson.
