Not What Connecticut Needs: Retired State Employee Dennis Schain Files for Cassano Senate Seat.

Dennis Schain retired from state employment last month.  This month, Schain filed a candidate committee as a Democrat, naturally for a former Jodi Rell spokesman, for the 4th Senate District. The seat is currently held by weary incumbent Democrat Steve Cassano.

Republican hopes of a pick-up in the competitive seat will be lifted by the prospect of facing the 65 year old Schain. Cassano has had a couple of close calls in the district that is dominated by Manchester and Glastonbury.
