Connecticut Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele announced on Wednesday that he will seek the Republican nomination to run for governor in next year’s election.
Fedele said his main focus will be on job creation and reducing the tax burden on businesses. “Our state economy is in the danger zone. Far too many people are still out of work. We need a governor that will create jobs, not new taxes,” he said.
His platform will focus on ways to stimulate Connecticut’s job growth as a means to rebuild the state’s sagging economy.
The 54-year-old Fedele was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1992 and became lieutenant governor in 2007.
