Connecticut Lieutenant Governor Michael Fedele ‘80 announced on Monday that he will be running for the position of Connecticut Governor in the 2010 election.
His declaration came on the heels of current Governor M. Jodi Rell announcing that she will be retiring after her current term. According to an article in the Connecticut Post, Fedele expected Monday to receive Rell’s support in his campaign. However, Rell has publicly said she will wait before deciding what Republican candidate to support.
In regards to Rell’s decision not to run again, Fedele said in the Post article, “This is something that we’ve all been expecting.”
“The governor has shared that with me. I’m proud to have served these four years, coming up with her. We still have a lot of work to do, and I look forward to completing this term with her.”
Fedele founded an IT company following his graduation from Fairfield and was added to Rell’s ticket in 2006.
