BRISTOL – Green Party congressional hopeful Steve Fournier, of Hartford, offers a strikingly different agenda than those put forward by major party candidates.
“I think our country is in the toilet and I’m willing to go in there and pull it out,” Fournier said. “Cleaning up Congress is a dirty job … and somebody has to do it.”Fournier, 62, said that volunteers have collected more than 3,000 signatures in the 1st District that “make it all but certain” that he’ll be on the November ballot against U.S. Rep. John Larson, an East Hartford Democrat, and Republican challenger Joe Visconti, of West Hartford.
