Melissa in the Morning: Senator Turned Selectman?

State Senator Tony Hwang is petitioning for a special election to run for Fairfield First Selectman. The August 15th deadline to determine if interim first selectman Christine Vitale would permanently hold the position expired, leaving the seat previously held by the late Bill Gerber open. Hwang, a Fairfield resident, has served in the senate representing the 28th district, which includes Fairfield, since 2014, and prior to that was a Fairfield state rep since 2008. We got the exclusive announcement on WICC.
