It has been a little while since we mentioned the yeoman’s effort being put forth by Republican Senate candidate Rob Russo in the 22nd District special election.  After Senator/Mayor Finch finally resigned his seat, 2006 candidate Rob Russo stepped up to again wage a campaign for 22nd District seat.  Since that time, he has been running a positive campaign about the issues that matter - affordability, taxes, and private property rights. 

Last week, he filed his paperwork with the State Elections Enforcement Commission to qualify for the Citizens’ Election Program - marking the third special election in a row where the Republican candidate has been better organized than the Democratic opponent.

Russo has his website up and running, featuring the standard campaign website fare - biography, issues, and volunteer recruitment.  And Russo’s call centers are making the phone calls that will deliver the big win on March 11.  Russo’s opponent will be Democrat Tom Mulligan, who is a former City Councilor and Town Clerk in Bridgeport.
