I have been told on good authority that State Representative V. George Carey (R-Milford) tonight announced that he will retire at the conclusion of his current term.
The D’s reportedly have a superb possible candidate in the wings, Russ McCabe, former state archivist. I’ve known Russ casually for awhile, and I can tell you that he’d make a great representative.
While the 36th tends to vote R, the numbers are not bad at all: 6929 D’s, 5895 R’s, and 3927 I’s. This would immediately move to near the top of the best pick-up opportunities for the House D’s should McCabe run.
