Corey Mulls Challenging Cassano.

Manchester Republican Matthew Corey is a likely challenger to state Senator Steve Cassano (D-Manchester), for the 4th District seat. The district includes Andover, Bolton, Glastonbury and Manchester.

Corey has run for the 1st Congressional District against U.S. Representative John Larson. In 2018, he was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. A state Senate race would allow the energetic businessman to enjoy his first campaign with funding parity under the state’s generous taxpayer-financed campaign finance program.

Cassano is serving his fifth term in the Senate. He announced he would not seek a sixth and shortly thereafter changed his mind. He is also a former mayor of Manchester.
