The Connecticut Post, which has the largest circulation in the 22nd State Senate district, has endorsed Republican Rob Russo for the Special Election on March 11th.

According to the Post:

“The Connecticut Post endorses the candidacy of Robert D. Russo III for the seat. Russo possesses an energy and a modicum of “out-of-the-box” thinking that we believe is better suited to the district and its disparate communities and politics.

A former aide to U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-4, and regional office head for Gov. M. Jodi Rell, Russo possesses a firm and deep knowledge of the major issues in the district and at the state Capitol. He realizes the urgency of building bridges between the urban center and its neighboring suburbs.

We feel Russo is representative of a new breed of politicians that is willing to work across party lines to accomplish common goals and we particularly appreciated the recurring emphasis he’s placed on state fiscal prudence during the campaign.”

Russo has been running an aggressive door-to-door campaign in Bridgeport, Trumbull and Monroe.
