Conn. Senate candidate kicks off economic tour

January 29, 2012

State Rep. William Tong, a Democratic candidate for Connecticut’s U.S. Senate seat, is kicking off a statewide tour to promote his plan to revitalize the state and national economies.

Tong is scheduled to begin his “Reclaim the Dream Tour’’ from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Great Wall Restaurant in New Haven. His parents were Chinese immigrants who began their lives in the U.S. running a Chinese restaurant.

The Stamford state legislator unveiled his wide-ranging economic plan last week.

It includes a national investment in vocational and technical schools; reauthorizing the Build America Bonds program; and refinancing federally backed mortgages.

Tong is vying against U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy and former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz (BY’-suh-wits) for the Democratic Party’s endorsement.
