Democrat Bill Finch was known at the state Capitol as a passionate defender of his hometown of Bridgeport when he served as a state senator.
Today, he is the successor to P.T. Barnum as Bridgeport's mayor - and he is starring in a fly fishing scene in a new, 60-second commercial about his city.
The well-filmed commercial features the Bridgeport waterfront and makes the city look like a combination of Newport, Westport, and Mystic.
