Attorney General Facing A Conservative And Radical Liberal In General Election

Via CTNOW

HARTFORD — The last time a non-Democrat held the office of attorney general in Connecticut was in 1959. The current Democratic occupant, George Jepsen, was all of 5 years old back then.

In this election, Jepsen is being challenged by opponents who occupy opposite ends of the political spectrum and have very different approaches to the campaign.

Both Jepsen and Westby are planning on using the state’s public campaign finance system, which would give each more than $812,000 in taxpayer money to spend on this election. Fournier isn’t seeking any public election funding, and expects to spend less than $1,000 on his third-party candidacy.
