It was recently reported that Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell has decided to not run for another term. Of course, <a title="Governor Rell" href="http://www.ct.gov/governorrell/site/default.asp" target="_blank">Governor Rell</a> is a Brookfield resident.
As one of <a title="About Brookfield" href="http://www.brookfield.org/" target="_blank">Brookfield</a>'s claims to fame comes to an end, rumors swirl that <a title="About Danbury" href="http://www.ci.danbury.ct.us/content/39/default.aspx" target="_blank">Danbury</a> Mayor Mark Boughton may run for Governor. According to the <a href="http://www.connpost.com/ci_13859608">News Times</a>, he has been requests to run for the office. He has not officially commented that he will run, but he also has not ruled anything out yet.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Mayor Boughton on many occasions. He has served as the honorary chairman of an event I organize for the Rotary Club of Danbury each year.

I can't comment on his policies and politics as I'm not a Danbury resident. But I know him to be a personable, hard working and devoted public servant. Not to mention his cousin is a long time black belt at Zandri's.
It's been fun being able to say the governor of our state is from Brookfield. Maybe once she's retired, we'll get her to become a student at <a title="Zandri's Martial Arts website" href="http://www.zkick.com" target="_blank">Zandri's Martial Arts</a>.
We'll have to just enjoy our fame while we can. And maybe we can even hope to latch onto Danbury's potential fame in a few years.
