Harris Out of SOTS Primary, Clears Way for Denise Merrill

 

 Sen. Jonathan A. Harri, D-West Hartford announced today that he will not run in the Democratic primary for Secretary of the State, leaving the way clear for House Majority Leader Denise Merrill, the endorsed candidate coming out of the Democratic convention.

“This was a difficult decision for me, but ultimately the right one,” said Harris. “It is critical that civic engagement in our state continues to thrive and that we have a renewed commitment to growing businesses and creating jobs. Democrats are well-positioned to make sure both of these goals are reached, and I look forward to helping the party in any way that I can.”
