Carter Comeback.
Former Republican state Representative Dan Carter will seek to win back his 2nd House District seat the November.
Carter served in the House from 2010 to 2016, when he was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Richard Blumenthal.
In a prepared statement released Monday, Carter wrote, “”Serving as a representative of my community in Hartford was a great honor and it’s is clear we need common sense in Hartford more than ever. While other parts of the country have enjoyed a robust economy, Connecticut continues to lag behind due to high taxes and poor fiscal policy. We need experienced, thoughtful representation and with the support of my community I will be the advocate the people in the 2nd district rightfully deserve.”
The seat is currently held by Democratic incumbent Raghib Allie-Brennan, who is serving his first term.
