|
U.S. Rep. Jim Himes on Saturday endorsed Matt Blumenthal, the Democratic candidate for state representative in the 147th District. “Connecticut needs young leaders like Matt Blumenthal, who bring fresh thinking and common-sense solutions to the challenges our communities and state face,” said Himes. “Matt is the champion our small businesses and working families need fighting in Hartford on their behalf. He will stand up for our values and our future
here and in Hartford.”
Blumenthal, who won the endorsement of the party at a convention, is a veteran, trial attorney and community volunteer. He’s also the son of U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Greenwich and the former longtime state attorney general.
