HARTFORD (AP) Connecticut Republicans have chosen Sue Hatfield, a state prosecutor and vice chair of the state GOP, to finish the remainder of J.R. Romano s term as chairman, who had resigned.
Members of the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee on Monday night elected Hatfield following a four-way race. She will hold the position until June, when Romano s term was scheduled to expire.
“I look forward to bringing much-needed stability, and will work hard to unify our party, at this critical time,” Hatfield said in a written statement. “We are at an important crossroads.”
Romano informed state Republicans on Jan. 12 that he was ending his third two-year term six months early. He did not give specific reasons for his resignation during an interview, saying only, “It’s time for someone new. It’s time for a new voice.”
