Mickey Herbert of Fairfield, the former principal owner of the Bridgeport Bluefish and nearly former president and CEO of ConnecticCare, heads the cavalcade – well…. a half dozen – of corporate and insurance moguls who are backing Oz Griebel’s bid to gather the GOP nomination for governor.
The Oz squad this morning announced endorsements from “six prominent Connecticut political and business leaders,” some of whom the Blogster has even heard of.
“As a business leader in the healthcare industry, I know first-hand how critical it is for our next governor to understand the issues at the nexus of government and business,” said Herbert, who retires March 1, in a news release. “Oz stands out as the best contender with practical public policy, business development and executive management experience needed to restore fiscal sanity, public trust and leadership to the corner office.”
