Bristol Beware. Bysiewicz Threatens to Move for State Senate Bid.

Bristol Bound?

It didn’t take long for a faded political figure to pick over the carcass of romantic Democrat Dave Roche’s aborted bid in the 31st Senate District. The Bristol Democrat abandoned his campaign to put his full measure into saving his fractured marriage.

Enter that calculating chronic candidate from Middletown. That’s right. Susan Bysiewicz. The unsuccessful candidate for governor, attorney general, and United States Senate is trying to wheedle her way into affection of the 31st District vacancy committee, Daily Ructions can report. The former three term secretary of the state is telling some local party leaders she’d been thinking of moving to Bristol anyhow, so why not now? Many Democrats are not delighted at the prospect of the grating narcissist returning to public office.

Bysiewicz famously sued herself in 2010 to remove a shadow over her campaign for attorney general. There were doubts that Bysiewicz had the experience the law requires of an attorney general. She lost when the state’s highest court ruled against her on the eve of the state Democratic nominating convention. Bysieqicz was the subject of a devastating deposition in that case, which revealed she did little each day as secretary of state. Bysiewicz waged an unsuccessful primary battle against Christopher Murphy in the 2012 race for the United States Senate.

Incumbent Republican state Senator Jason Welch is not seeking a third term in the district that includes Bristol, Harwinton, Plymouth, Plainville and Thomaston. Republicans have nominated Bristol Republican Henri Martin.
