Jack Orchulli of Darien Announces He’ll Run Against U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal
|
Darien resident Jack Orchulli, former CEO of Michael Kors, has announced that he’s running for the Republican nomination to oppose U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “Welcome to the new home of Facebook communications with former CEO of Michael Kors, Jack Orchulli, who will be running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. Please share with your friends,” reads a post on the “Orchulli for US Senate” Facebook account. Orchulli was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in 2004, when he ran and lost to then U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd (like Blumenthal, a Democrat). Orchulli also ran as the GOP nominee for Comptroller of the state in 2010 but lost to current Comptroller Kevin Lembo.
