Enter Harry Arora. Himes Gets a Challenger.

Greenwich Republican Harry Arora is seeking the Republican nomination the U.S. House of Representatives from Connecticut’s 4th CD. Arora will face five-term incumbent Jim Himes, who has become a staple on CNN discussing what he’s been up to as a member of the House’s intelligence committee.

Arora was born in India and graduated from Delhi University in 1991 with a degree in engineering. He received an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin four years later. Arora expects to receive an MPA (not a certificate program like one Republican is always banging on about) at Harvard’s Kennedy School next year. Arora is a co-founder and partner in Northlander Advisors, an infirm specializing in European energy. Perhaps he has some ideas on how to reduce Connecticut’s debilitating energy costs, among the highest in the nation.

Arora’s campaign provided two stirring quotes from his announcement. Arora sounds like he is willing to oppose the ugliest instincts of the loathsome demagogue who serves in the White House.

“I am running for the United States Congress to protect our freedoms, to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our society and ensure that we remain a land of equal opportunity for every American.”
