Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz — the early front-runner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination — is now running for attorney general instead.
“The strongest factor and decision point was where I could best use my talents and expertise and energy to serve the people of the state,” she said. “And what was best for my family.”
Bysiewicz had a 3 percentage-point lead over other Democrats in a December Quinnipiac University poll about the party’s crowded field for governor.
Bysiewicz, 48, faces a potential Democratic primary in the attorney general’s race against former state Senate Majority Leader George Jepsen. (AP)
