Connecticut Native & Former Republican Congressman Chris Shays Won't Vote for Donald Trump

Republican and Connecticut native, Christopher Shays, who was the representative for Connecticut's 4th congressional district from 1987 to 2008, has announced that he will be voting for Hillary Clinton. He joins a long list of fellow GOP members who will not support Donald Trump in November.

According to an article in CNN today, Shays is reported as saying, "I think many Republicans know Donald Trump could cause great damage to our country and the world at large, and still plan to vote for him. But not me. He represents practically everything I was taught not to be, and everything my wife and I taught our daughter not to be."

He added, "Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president, will be getting my vote, not reluctantly, but with a strong conviction that she will be a good president."
