From the Stamford Advocate:
Republican attorney general candidate Martha Dean promised Tuesday to uphold the state and U.S. Constitution as “the law of the land” if she is elected on Nov. 2.
Dean, 51, also vowed to “return the attorney general’s office to its core functions” following the 20-year tenure of Democrat Richard Blumenthal, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Chris Dodd.
“Government has an important role, but a very specific role,” she said Tuesday during a meeting with News-Times editors.
“Whatever power not conferred to the federal government belongs to the states,” Dean said, “and any power not conferred to the states belongs to the people.”
