Some politicos have been urging former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays to run for governor – saying there is a vacuum in the race because the two former frontrunners, Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, have decided not to run.
The first problem is that Shays sold his upscale home in Bridgeport – previously owned by People’s Bank executive David Carson – and is now working in the Washington, D.C. area. The home, which is one of the best in Bridgeport, sold for $1.55 million in a down market.
