A day after the State Supreme Court ended her run for Attorney General, Susan Bysiewicz said she isn't ruling anything out about her future in politics.
Tuesday, the state's highest court reversed a decision by a Superior Court judge that ruled Bysiewicz satisfied the requirements to run for the office. The seven justices ruled unanimously Bysiewicz's years as Secretary of the State did not meet the requirement that she be a practicing attorney in Connecticut for at least 10 years.
She said she is disappointed by the decision, but will abide by the rule of law.
As for her next step, Bysiewicz said she is talking to her friends and family. "I don't have any immediate plans for the future. I haven't made any decisions about particular offices," she said Wednesday. That could include the office she currently holds, Secretary of the State, but Bysiewicz would offer no specifics.
Although she can't run for Attorney General, Bysiewicz's brother-in-law will.
Ross Garber announced Wednesday he will run for the office. The Republican has plenty of practice as a lawyer in Connecticut. He defended John Rowland during the former Governor's impeachment proceedings in 2004.
Garber's announcement came after Bysiewicz, his sister-in-law, was no longer in the race for Attorney General.
