On the Hill: Himes preps for new job in Washington
Connecticut's newest Democratic congressman will hit the ground running this January, when he is sworn in. Press reports and releases from his Stamford-based regional office say Jim Himes is laying the foundation for a solid start on his role as the representative of the 4th District, which includes Redding and several surrounding towns. He has been spending time in recent weeks in Washington; in the photo above, Himes speaks during a meeting with the Connecticut delegation (from left: Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Himes, Sen.
