George Jepsen’s predecessor was well known for being “media savvy” – and that’s a nice way to put it.

In fact, Attorney General - now Senator - Richard Blumenthal still jokes with reporters that he would show up for “a garage door opening.”  He also blasted the media daily with announcements, soundbites and press conferences.

Now, Jepsen – a much more low-key kinda guy, is forging his own path as AG. 
We’ll talk about what he’s done in office so far - his vision for what an attorney general should be, and how he hopes to get out from under the shadow of a man who served in the job for 20 years.
