Dan Carter Receives 2nd Assembly District Republican Nomination

BETHEL, CT—Former Republican State Representative Dan Carter received the Republican Party nomination for a new term to Connecticut's 2nd Assembly District, which includes portions of Bethel, Danbury, Redding, and Newtown. Carter was first elected to the 2nd district in 2010 and won re-election twice for a total of three two-year terms.

"I am honored to receive the support of local Republicans in my efforts to bring common sense leadership to Hartford. As the impact of the COVID-19 crisis grows, we need experienced leadership to safeguard citizens, help businesses protect their employees, and manage the economic fallout across the state,” Carter said. “We must also work together to ensure we do not repeat the same mistakes made after the economic crisis in 2008 that held Connecticut back from a full recovery.”

Carter, a former Air Force pilot and Gulf War veteran, worked in healthcare following his Air Force career. While in the legislature, he served on the General Law, Education, Finance Revenue & Bonding, Public Health, Energy & Technology, and Banking committees. He was also a member of Aviation and Bioscience caucuses. He currently provides consulting services in the aviation and travel industries.

He represented the Republican Party in the 2016 Connecticut Senate election, losing to incumbent Richard Blumenthal.
