From Greenwich-Post:

Former state Sen. Rob Russo of Bridgeport has announced his withdrawal from the race for that city’s Board of Education in order to focus on a congressional run against United States Rep. Jim Himes of Cos Cob (D-4th). A formal announcement of Mr. Russo’s congressional candidacy will come after Labor Day.

“Our country is facing great challenges, but this Congress and Jim Himes keep making the wrong choices,” Mr. Russo, a Republican, said in a statement. “They raise our taxes in a recession.

I will not sit idly by as Congress and Jim Himes mortgage our future.”
