The next four years in the Connecticut attorney general’s office will not be like the last 20, the major-party candidates for the position said Monday.
The office’s focus after Democrat Richard Blumenthal leaves were among the topics discussed during the second debate between Democrat George Jepsen and Republican Martha Dean at Quinnipiac University School of Law.
Jepsen and Dean want to replace Blumenthal, who has held the office for 20 years. He’s in a race for the U.S. Senate seat Chris Dodd will vacate by retiring.
Jepsen, an attorney from Ridgefield, defended Blumenthal’s tenure, saying he has built an “extraordinary record” as attorney general. Jepsen even called on his opponent to apologize for accusing Blumenthal of dropping the ball during the debate of same-sex marriages in the state.
