While 1st District Congressman John Larson is hanging with big donors in Napa Valley, his Republican opponent is getting ready to launch his campaign.
Mark Zydanowicz, whose campaign email describes him as a “husband, father, soldier and businessman.” will officially enter the race on Monday, when he holds a press conference at the Legislative Office Building.
He is a captain in the Connecticut Army National Guard and served on various missions, including a recent combat mission to Iraq, where he earned a bronze star.
Zydanowicz grew up in New Britain and graduated with a bachelor of science in marketing from Central Connecticut State University. He lives with his wife, Nella, and three children in West Hartford.
