Congressional candidate launches new Web site

Will Gregory of New Canaan, 24, has launched a new campaign Web site, gregoryforcongress.com, and a Web advertisement in his bid to claim Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District seat from incumbent Democrat Jim Himes of Cos Cob.

On both the site and in the ad, Gregory lays out his platform, reasons for running and vision for both the Republican Party and the country.

“Over the past several years, the Republican Party has lost its way,” Gregory writes. “Despite a long tradition of promoting individual responsibility, freedom of enterprise, and self-determination, we became a party of fiscal ambivalence, massive national debt, and larger government.”

A fiscally conservative, socially moderate Republican, Gregory aims to rebuild the party around a set of principles from which he believes it has strayed, a press release said.

“We need a leader who will stand up for our best traditions,” he writes, among which he lists individual responsibility, limited government and freedom of enterprise.

“I am stepping forward to fill the void within the Republican Party and to carry the torch for Yankee Conservatives.”

“Executive director of The Mentis Foundation, an Eagle Scout, and a graduate of Oxford University and Gettysburg College, Will Gregory brings the dynamic solutions, energy and leadership necessary to strengthen our economy, maximize individual freedom and move America forward into the 21st Century,” the release said.

If elected, Gregory will be the youngest person ever to hold a seat in the United States House of Representatives.
