Somers for Herbst.

State Senator Heather Somers, a first term Republican, and her husband will open their Groton home in support of gubernatorial hopeful Tim Herbst on the last day of the fundraising quarter. This is an early endorsement from a legislator as race for the Republican nomination becomes more crowded and competitive.

Somers won the 2014 three-way primary for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. Jon Conradi served as Somers’ campaign manager and is the general consultant for outgoing Trumbull First Selectman Herbst.
