Roiled: Jepsen Will Not Seek Third Term. Melee to Follow.

Attorney General George Jepsen will not seek a third four-year term. Jepsen informed office colleagues in an email this morning. The West Hartford Democrat’s decision will ignite a ferocious race to succeed him, particularly among Democrats.

Watch for Stamford Democrat William Tong to make a quick entry into the race. The open field could also allow gubernatorial exploring candidate Christopher Mattei to make a graceful segue into a race in which his chance of winning improves.
