Tong Listed Occupation As “State Representative” on SEEC Form. Does He Pass the Bysiewicz Test?

What does William Tong do? The question is not going away. The Stamford Democrat will face more queries on whether he meets the “Bysiewicz test” for trial experience to serve as attorney general. Tong won the Democratic endorsement for attorney general at the May 19th party convention. He faces two opponents in the August 14th primary, state Senator Paul Doyle (D-Wethersfield) and first time candidate Christopher Mattei.

Tong’s experience as a lawyer has been a burbling issue since the convention. The issue took on more significance when this WTNH story appeared Tuesday.

Even Tong seems unsure. When he made a campaign contribution to himself in June, Tong listed his occupation as “State Representative”. We take him at his word.
