Arulampalam Running for Treasurer.

Exploring no more. Hartford lobbyist and lawyer Arunan Arulampalam is seeking the Democratic nomination for state treasurer. Arulampalam joins the parade of candidates who have chosen to seek a statewide office in their first foray into elective politics.

With an assist from his father-in-law, utility executive Greg Butler, and the lobbying community, Arulampalam’s exploratory committee raised $41,126.00 in campaign funds in the fourth quarter of 2017.

He will face former Hartford city council leader Shawn Wooden in what is likely to be an early test of strength and airing of grievances when Hartford Democrats select their delegates to the May nominating convention.
