Three current and former lawmakers are pouncing on the opportunity to contend for state attorney general and succeed departing Democrat George Jepsen. No sooner did the seven-year incumbent reveal he would not seek re-election in 2018 than those with statewide political ambitions and lawyer credentials started laying campaign groundwork. House Democrats William Tong, of Stamford, and Mike D’Agostino, of Hamden, are part of the mix, as well as former House Republican John Shaban, of Redding. Tong, a former constitutional law student of Barack Obama at the University of Chicago and co-chairman of the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee, formed an exploratory committee Tuesday to focus on the attorney general’s race.
