Connecticut needs the strongest possible candidate for Attorney General

Dear Friends,

            It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you some important news.  Today I am announcing that I am running for Attorney General.  This decision has come after long consideration and consultation with my family and my closest friends, and after much soul-searching.  In the end, it is clear to me that Connecticut needs the strongest possible candidate for Attorney General on the ballot in November.  I hope to have the chance to be that candidate and will use my exploratory committee to vigorously explore that possibility.

We have been blessed for the last 20 years to have one of the greatest Attorney Generals in the United States: my friend, Dick Blumenthal.  I intend to carry on the great tradition he has established, a tradition where our Attorney General places the people of Connecticut first.  My record as Secretary of the State has led to great strides to protect Connecticut residents and keep our state one of the best managed in the nation.  Now, I hope to bring that forward-thinking, "people-first" leadership to the Attorney General's office.

I hope you will join me as I actively and enthusiastically pursue the office of Attorney General in the coming weeks and months.  Your support means the world to me and I look forward to great success for us all in November.

Your friend,

Susan Bysiewicz
