Tim Lenox (R) to face Tom Gaffey (D)

State Senator Tom Gaffey now knows his Republican opponent... Tim Lenox of Meriden.

Lenox said he wants to run for office because he has watched both Democrats and Republicans become more removed from the people they represent. Lenox believes in a representative government, he said.

"I am one of the Republicans who feel disappointed in their own party," Lenox said. "I'm in this because so many people feel like they've been forgotten, and I want to give them a voice again."...

Lenox's campaign will focus on the need for fiscal fairness and representative government. The three levels of government need to work together, he said.

I don't yet know if either Sam Caligiuri or Mary Fritz have opposition.
