Another former Connecticut lawmaker is looking to take his seat back.  Republican John Shaban has announced his candidacy for the 135th General Assembly District representing Redding, Easton and Weston.  He served for 6 years in office, but left in 2017 to run for the 4th Congressional District position.  When he was a Connecticut lawmaker, Shaban was part of the Environment, Judiciary and the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committees.  According to his campaign announcement, Shaban said he will advocate for greater local control of education and land use, and opposes forced regionalization of schools and services.  Shaban has been a lawyer for 26 years, specializing in commercial and corporate litigation, and has an environmental law degree.  The state Representative seat is currently held by freshman Democrat Ann Hughes, who is facing a primary challenge.
