Seth Bronko Announces Bid For Naugatuck State Representative

NAUGATUCK, CT — Seth Bronko, currently chair of the Naugatuck Republican Town Committee, this week announced he is running for state representative for Naugatuck's 70th House District.

Bronko is looking to replace Republican state Rep. Rosa Rebimbas, who has held the seat for more than a dozen years. She is not seeking re-election to the state House, but is running for probate judge, My Citizen News reported.

A real estate agent by trade, Bronko practically has politics in his blood, as both his father, Mike Bronko, and his mother, Eileen Bronko, hold government positions in the borough; Mike as second deputy mayor, and Eileen as vice chair of the Zoning Commission.

"I'm passionate about protecting and defending your freedoms and liberties, about easing your tax burden and about strengthening our community through economic development," Bronko said in his launch video on Facebook (see below).

In addition to his position on the Republican Town Committee, Bronko also has served on the Naugatuck Valley Health District board and the Naugatuck Finance Board, among others.

Who is running for the seat for the Democrats has not yet been announced.
