Attorney General George Jepsen has told a Hartford radio station that he plans to run for re-election. As reported on the CT News Junkie website, Jepsen said he planned to file the paperwork to run for a second term on Monday, April 7.
Jepsen, a former state senator from Stamford told WTIC-AM that his proudest accomplishment since taking office in 2011 was working on the national mortgage settlement—a three-year agreement reached in 2012 with attorneys general of 49 states, the federal government, and five mortgage servicers. The settlement has provided more than $51 billion nationwide and $650 million to more than 6,700 Connecticut borrowers, who were in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure.
