Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz plans to ask a Hartford Superior Court judge to confirm she’s eligible to run for attorney general.
David Mason, a campaign spokesman, says Bysiewicz will seek the ruling as an individual, not as the Secretary of the State, and will cover the legal expenses.
Bysiewicz’s qualifications were questioned by a Democratic blogger who suggested she did not have the required 10 years of active legal experience. Without addressing Bysiewicz’s case in particular, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said it’s up to a judge to determine the definition of “active practice” of law.
Bysiewicz says she does meet the requirement because her service as Secretary of State counts. (AP)
