more heated statewide races is for Connecticut Attorney General, since state
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal decided to run for the U.S. Senate. To
help you make a better informed decision on who you will vote for, we’ve
asked the two main candidates for the position, the democrat George Jepsen
and the republican Martha Dean, a few questions about their viewes and
philosophy on some of the issues that whoever is elected will face in
Hartford. Our questions were submitted by e-mail and the candidates were
asked to answer them with up to 500 words per answer. Following is our
e-mail interview with George Jepsen.
