Will They Like Eick? Blair Witch Producer to Seek State Treasurer Nomination.

Ridgefield movie producer Charles Robert Eick will seek the Republican nomination for state treasurer, Daily Ructions has learned. Eick will face popular Trumbull First Selectman Tim Herbst in the contest. The winner competes with erratic incumbent Democrat Denise Nappier.

Eick has begun making the rounds of political events. He attended a January state party fundraiser in New Haven and was squired about by lobbyist and former Rowland era party chair Chris DePino, a worrisome sign for some stalwarts. DePino was an early booster of Democrat John DeStefano’s 2006 bid against Republican Governor M. Jodi Rell.

Here’s Eick’s IMDb page. Wags will be able to make sport of some of the titles.

Eick has declined to speak with Daily Ructions.
