Herbst Over $56k. Eick Releases First Ad.

Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst has made a fast start on his bid to qualify for public financing in the race for the Republican nomination for state treasurer. Herbst, who began his campaign in January, has raised more than $56,000 in qualifying contributions toward the $75,000 requirement. He is on track to ring the fundraising bell before the party’s May nominating convention.

Christopher Dodd devotee and Herbst rival Bob Eick released an ad that appears intended to boost his chances of winning the race. You be the judge.
