Republican Oz Griebel of Simsbury has been running third in the polls for months, but he is not giving up in his primary campaign.
The Hartford Courant announced in its editorial that Griebel was a close second, and now The Norwich Bulletin has endorsed him.
Griebel is facing front runner Tom Foley of Greenwich and Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele of North Stamford in the August 10 primary.
