Chris Perone Announces Candidacy For State Rep Race

I think all Norwalk candidates should use Mill Hill as their campaign launching spot, and then be required to answer an jeopardy-style questions on Norwalk history. It would make these events slightly more entertaining. But alas, the first part was true, Chris Perone held his announcement event at Mill Hill, but no game show was introduced. Instead Chris offered up a short history of some of the legislation he’s been busy working on the past two years. the highlight, at least for me, was the fight against insurance companies who desired to require people who lived in homes 3/4 of a mile from the sound to either install storm shutters, or pay a special premium.

The previous night Ellen Wink was nominated by the RTC to challenge Chris for the 137th State Rep seat. I don’t think she’s held her announcement event yet, but I’ll cover that if there is one.

In terms of campaign watching, Chris has typically done well in previous years races. He’s the incumbent with a good track record. The 137th doesn’t have too many issues that could make the campaign interesting, but you never know. Lots of summer politicking to get through.
