Hatfield to Begin Exploring Bid for AG.

Republican Susan Hatfield will meet with supporters in Jewett City on Tuesday morning to announce she’s exploring a bid for attorney general. In anticipation of the campaign, Hatfield has taken a leave of absence from her position in the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney.

Hatfield joins former state Representative John Shaban in the Republican race for attorney general. Five Democrats are competing in a sharp-elbowed competition for their party’s nomination.
