30th District state Senator Craig Miner is not seeking reelection.  On the heels of the Republican's announcement, a candidacy announcement was made by 107th District State Representative Stephen Harding that he'll seek the GOP nomination for higher office.  Harding, who currently represents Brookfield and the Stony Hill section of Bethel, says he wants to work to improve the business climate and find more ways to make Connecticut more affordable. The 34 year old and his wife have two children.  He has been practicing law for eight years. Harding was first elected to represent the 107th District in a special election in February 2015.
