Shays Running for CT Senate

Former Connecticut Congressman Chris Shays is running for Senate in the blue state next year. Shays, who lost his seat in the 2008 wave, is aiming for a comeback:

The 65-year-old moderate will likely face a primary fight with former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, who spent $50 million on her unsuccessful 2010 bid for Connecticut’s other Senate seat. He also faces Hartford lawyer Brian Hill, and former U.S. comptroller general David Walker has shown interest in the race as well.

Democrats are currently favored to win the Senate seat. The field includes U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, former Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz and state Rep. William Tong.

Best of luck to Mr. Shays.
