2010 U.S. Senate write-in candidate Brian K. Hill is running again in 2012, this time as a Republican.
Hill has registered as a Republican and said he intends to meet with GOP leaders to discuss his run.
Hill has been critical of both major parties in the past. "There's too much blind partisanship in Washington,'' Hill said in an interview in September of 2010. That same month, he ran an ad depicting photos of the Democratic nominee, Richard Blumenthal, and the Republican nominee, Linda McMahon, with the tagline "same circus, different clowns."
But Hill now says his fiscally conservative philosophy fits better with the Republican party. A lawyer and former military JAG officer, Hill is a resident of Windsor.
