Yup, he's running. But don't print up those "Healy for State Rep" signs just yet.
State GOP Chairman Chris Healy placed his name in nomination for the 29th House District at the party's nominating convention Tuesday. But he only did so because no one else had come forth.
"This is what happens when you show up at a convention,'' said Healy, who lives in Wethersfield. "Obviously I'm looking for someone to fill that responsibility...I'm meeting with a guy tomorrow.''
"I'm pretty confident I'll be able to pass the baton soon,'' he added. The district includes Newington, Wethersfield and Rocky Hill.
