Downtown Hartford attorney Brian K. Hill announced Friday that he is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut as a Republican candidate.
Hill, who is the owner of BKH & Associates, with practice areas including personal injury, criminal defense, and business law, said he’s running for office because of his concerns over the country’s debt and because of an “unprecedented attack on the freedoms of businesses both large and small.”
“The consequences of these policies and the culture of dependency they create can be seen by the failure in our inner cities and through the tragic destruction of many working class families oppressed by the welfare state,” Hill said in a campaign video posted to his web site Friday.
Hill served twelve years on active duty as a military JAG officer, practicing a variety of law including federal contract law, international law, prosecuting attorney, and also as a base attorney. Hill
He was born and raised in Connecticut, graduated from Windsor High School in 1988, and has a political science degree from Southern Connecticut State University. He is licensed to practice law in Connecticut.
The U.S. Senate race in Connecticut continues to heat up with a myriad of candidates throwing their names in the running. U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz and state House Speaker Christopher Donovan-all Democrats-are among the most high profile candidates so far.
All candidates will be vying for the seat currently held by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent who is retiring.
