Bill Curry could claim an unofficial distinction if he decides to step into the race for the 5th U.S. House District: Longest time between campaigns for the same seat in Congress. The Farmington writer, lawyer and political commentator won a three-way Democratic primary as he ran for what was then the 6th District seat in 1982 — with significant overlap to today’s 5th District. Thirty-six years later, he said, “I am thinking about it.” In between, Curry, 66, was state comptroller from 1991 to 1994 when Lowell P. Weicker Jr. was in office. Curry won the nomination for governor in 1994 — beating John B. Larson in a primary — and again in 2002, losing both times to former Gov. John G,. Rowland.
