A Wednesday fund-raising reception is slated for former State Senator and State Party Chair George Jepsen, the Democratic nominee for Attorney General.

The June 2nd event will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the home of Dr. Frank Gerratana, a DTC member from District 1, 674 Lincoln Street. Joining Dr. Gerratana in hosting the event will be U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, State Rep. John Geragosian, former House Majority Leader David Pudlin and Atty. Martin McQuillan. The suggested contribution is $100, the maximum individual contribution allowed under the Citizens Election Program.

Jepsen and other underticket Democratic candidates running for the constitutional offices need to raise $75,000 in contributions to qualify for public financing. Jepsen gained the nomination following the departure of Secretary of the State Susan Bysiwicz who lost a qualifications ruling made by the state Supreme Court.
