Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, a Democrat, has filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals, 2nd circuit. Her brief urges the 2nd circuit to reverse the U.S. District Court in the case over the discriminatory aspects of Connecticut’s public funding law for candidates for state office. See her press release, which is moderately lengthy yet which fails to describe why the law was struck down last year.

The hearing in the 2nd circuit is on January 13. Bysiewicz is expected to seek the Democratic nomination for Governor this year.
