Peter Schiff Announces Candidacy For CT Senate Seat

Money manager Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital launched his much-anticipated bid to run for Connecticut’s senate seat challenging Christopher Dodd.

The announcement came as no great surprise. There have been multiple reports, it was teased on a twitter feed and a grassroots group of California liberatarians have been pushing for Schiff to run for months.

Schiff joins a crowded field for the Republican nomination, one that already includes State Sen. Sam Caligiuri of Waterbury, former U.S. ambassador Tom Foley, former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon and former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons.
