Connecticut Local Politics

The Everyday Republican reports that L. Scott Frantz, who is the chairman of Bradley International Airport, will be seeking the seat of retiring State Sen. William Nickerson (R-Greenwich).

The 47-year-old Frantz is certainly no strange to Hartford. Along with his service as chairman of Bradley, he is currently chairman of the Connecticut Development Authority, and a co-founder of Haebler Capital Inc. in Cos Cob.

This will be Frantz’s first run for elected office, though he has been active in Republican politics for many years. Former Republican State Representative Janet Lockton, who was considering running for the seat, has stepped aside for Frantz.

Interesting stuff. No word that I’ve heard on a Democratic candidate for the seat yet.
