State Senator Len Suzio (13th District – Meriden)
“As you know I will be supporting you for the Republican nomination as candidate for the Fifth Congressional District. In a field of strong Republican candidates you stand out for your consistent commitment to common sense Conservative values and your ability to marshal the resources to wage a winning campaign against what will certainly be a liberal and well-funded Democrat candidate this Fall. Connecticut and the Fifth Congressional District need a strong and pragmatic Conservative voice like yours in Washington.”
Dick Morris – Cable News Contributor, best-selling author, and former presidential advisor
Peter Schiff – 2010 U.S. Senate Candidate
“I first met Mark in 2010 when we were both seeking nominations in the Republican Party. From the moment I heard him speak at an RTC meeting, I knew I was in the presence of a true statesman. Mark is running for all the right reasons. He understands the severity of the problems, and is committed to the free market based solutions necessary to solve them. He will fight to slash government spending, repeal regulations, and lower taxes. I wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy for the U.S. Congress. He is hands down the best person for the job.”
Martha Dean – 2010 Republican Nominee for Attorney General
“I am endorsing Mark Greenberg because of his superior understanding of and unwavering commitment to the financial principles and Constitutional principles that underpin a strong America. These principles must be put back in place if we are to experience economic recovery. Mark Greenberg exudes common sense combined with compassion and most importantly, Mark Greenberg can win because voters can readily see in his steady and consistent actions in business enterprises, in his not-for-profit animal shelter, and on the campaign trail that he has the intellect and unwavering commitment to do what is right and what is needed as he represents Connecticut’s Fifth District in the U.S. Congress.”
Peter Wolfgang – Executive Director, Family Institute of Connecticut
“I am writing today to tell you of my personal decision to endorse Mark Greenberg for Congress in Connecticut’s 5th District. In the wake of Friday’s Republican State Convention, I do not believe Justin Bernier can win the August 14th primary. Therefore, the race for GOP nominee in the 5th Congressional District is now between a liberal, a moderate and a conservative.”

“After a thorough review of the candidates’ statements, their behavior and past alliances, after meeting them publicly and evaluating their debate performance, Mark Greenberg was revealed as the best candidate for the conservative 5th District seat. Mark has the experience, the organization, the funding, and the principles to represent District voters in Washington.”
Bob MacGuffie – Right Principles
“Right Principles is proud to endorse Mark Greenberg for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 5th District. Mark is leading a campaign to restore the principles of limited government, individual responsibility and fiscal restraint to governance in Washington DC.

Adam Grippo – Cheshire RTC Chairman/State Central Committee
“Now is the time for people to have the courage to support candidates who they best identify with. That candidate must be a person of character, have a belief in small government and low taxes and most importantly have the courage to go to Washington and defend Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. To me, there is only one candidate who represents all of these things. That is why I have decided to personally endorse Mark Greenberg for Congress. I truly believe Mark Greenberg is the best person to represent the 5th Congressional District.”
Candace Jones-Pacholski – Harwinton RTC Chairman

Mark has been very consistent in his core conservative beliefs and does not waiver on his positions given the political climate. Mark is prepared and able to defeat Chris Donovan in November, and I enthusiastically endorse his candidacy.”
Bob Paine – Avon RTC
“I am endorsing Mark because he will not go to Washington to promote his political career. As the owner of a private (non-subsidized) business, Mark has first hand knowledge of how job killing legislation championed by liberal politicians has hurt Connecticut. Mark Greenberg is a unique candidate in this race and it is Mark and only Mark who offers the common sense solutions necessary to jumpstart our stagnant economy.”
Pamela Kurtz – Brookfield RTC
“I admire Mark and support his bid for Congress because he is a self-made businessman who knows how to create jobs.

A staunch believer in the Constitution and the rights of the individual, Mark will go to Washington and fight for the people.”
Robin Emond – Cheshire RTC
“I am proud to support Mark Greenberg for Congress in the 5th Congressional District. Mark is the most principled conservative candidate in the race. He has proven to be a man of his word, a man that has great passion for life, country and family. He is an ardent supporter of the Constitution and I know that he will uphold his oath and fight tirelesssly to bring this country back in the direction of our Founding Fathers. Because of Mark’s proven record of building businesses and creating jobs, I see Mark’s election as our Congressman as a win-win.”
Stanley Emond – Cheshire RTC
“My support goes to a man that I have had the opportunity to sit down with and discuss the anguish and despair in which this state and nation is headed. I have looked him straight in the eyes and seen the true and honest concern for his family, his faith and this nation, a concern that simply cannot be fabricated. A pro-life constitutionalist who believes in free-market principles and small government, Mark Greenberg has never wavered in his strong moral beliefs. Therefore, with certainty, Mark Greenberg has my full and complete support.”
John O’Reilly – Cheshire RTC/Cheshire High School Young Republicans
“I support Mark Greenberg for Congress because I truly believe that he is the only Republican who can take back the 5th Congressional District.”
Tom Pinkham – Cheshire RTC Vice-Chairman
“As Vice-Chairman of the Cheshire RTC, I can tell you that Mark Greenberg was always there when we needed him. At the last minute, Mark and four of his staff members personally showed up to do a literature drop. Mark’s dedication is the kind of dedication I am looking for in our next U.S. Congressman. Mark made it a priority to help all of the RTC’s in the district win their local elections in November 2011. In the end, Mark’s continued support of the party and the local Republican Town Committees has put his Congressional campaign miles ahead of his competitors.”
First Selectman Mike Criss – Harwinton RTC

John Bongiorno – Litchfield RTC
“Mark Greenberg is a dedicated and thoughtful individual who strives for success. In everything Mark is a part of, from his business, to The Simon Foundation (an animal rescue facility) to his family life, Mark always gives 100 percent. Mark will always do what right is right for the people of the 5th Congressional District. Most of all, he isn’t in this for the perks or a career – he is in this to make government work better for the people. Mark’s dedication and drive will make him an excellent Congressman.”
David W. Wilson – Litchfield RTC
“I am supporting Mark Greenberg for Congress because he understands the original and true intent of our Forefathers – a government for the people and by the people. Mark doesn’t have to run for Congress as a means to support his family. Rather, he is part of an ever growing segment of our population that realizes our government is broken and needs fixing badly. I believe Mark Greenberg is the man best suited for the job. As a delegate from the great town of Litchfield, I will be voting for him at the convention.”
Anna Neumon – Meriden RTC

I am proud to support Mark Greenberg for Congress.”
Mitch Bolinsky – Newtown RTC Vice-Chairman
“Mark Greenberg is simply the most genuine candidate I know. I believe he’s the 5th Congressional District’s best choice to bring a critically needed dose of fiscal sanity to Washington. Mark is devoted to the Constitution and, like our forefathers, sees a bright future for America. As a successful businessman, Mark knows how to create jobs. As a humanitarian, he is dedicated to doing good for the right reasons, while humbly avoiding the spotlight. As a visionary, his commitment to making things better for all of us extends beyond his own public service. The bottom line is: We need Mark Greenberg representing us in Washington.”
Ron Pizzarelli – Roxbury RTC/State Central Committee
“Mark Greenberg is the most conservative candidate for Congress and he is true to his ideals. As Republicans, we need someone who can carry our message against the Democrats and someone who does not owe anything to the political establishment in Washington, DC. In my opinion, Mark Greenberg is the only one that can take back the 5th District for our party.”
Deborah Stevenson – Roxbury RTC
“I believe Mark Greenberg is the best person to represent the people of the 5th Congressional District. He is a man of principles, who cares deeply about his family, his state, and his country. More importantly, he is not afraid to stand up, speak out and take action based on his principles and beliefs. Mark has the intelligence, background, integrity, and fortitude to lead. As our Congressman, I am confident he will lead us to a renewed and even more prosperous Constitutional Republic.
Camille Bertrand – Southbury RTC
“It is an honor to endorse Mark Greenberg for Congress in the 5th Congressional District. Mark’s pledge stating that he will not accept a pension, that he will abide by term limits, and that he will not put himself above the laws passed by Congress shows his integrity and leadership. Of all the candidates for the 5th Congressional District, Mark Greenberg is the most knowledgeable and the most likely to win this seat in November.”
Griffin Namin – Southbury/Middlebury Young Republicans
“Mark Greenberg is the clear conservative choice among all five candidates running for the 5th Congressional District seat.

I believe that Mark Greenberg will win this election and end the mess in Washington.”
Cathe Sherman – Wolcott RTC Vice-Chairman
“I am proud to support Mark Greenberg. He is a fiscal conservative and he has taken a pledge to abide by term limits. In 2011, Mark demonstrated his committment to the local RTC’s as him and his staff worked tirelessly to obtain a near clean sweep in Wolcott. In my opinion, Mark Greenberg is a winner and a sure bet to defeat Chris Donovan in November.”
