Elizabeth Esty Votes Yet Again to
Maintain the Costly Status Quo
"No hope for change with Esty in DC," says Cope
"Elizabeth Esty has squandered yet another chance to vote for a solution and instead chose to remain part of the problem plaguing Washington, D.C.," said Clay Cope, Republican 5
th
District candidate for Congress.
The Federal Information Systems Safeguards Act includes multiple provisions to make federal employees more accountable for misconduct and mismanagement within federal agencies and organizations, including expanding the ability to fire, suspend, or demote Senior Executive Service employees (SES) based on their performance.
"Just like her vote last year against the VA Accountability Act, this vote makes it clear Esty places a priority on the well-being of Washington bureaucrats instead of fighting for a more effective and efficient government that works towards improving the lives of everyday American citizens."
"There is no hope for any kind of meaningful change in Washington as long as career politicians like Elizabeth Esty represent, or more accurately misrepresent, the people of the 5
th District," said Cope. "There is a better way, and it starts on November 8th."

A native of Texas, Clay Cope traded a successful 28-year career in the fashion industry for Public Service in CT. He has won five local elections, and is now the three-term First Selectman for the Town of Sherman. He is
widely regarded for his fiscally conservative approach to government. He has successfully managed multi-million dollar municipal budgets, finishing the year in the black, not the red. He pays down debt, not adds to it, and has rebuilt the Town's Rainy Day Fund. His stewardship of the Town
's finances
enabled the removal of a negative outlook on the Town's debt, which was incurred by a previous administration.
