Michael Fedele is a Stamford businessman, and the 107th Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut – now he’s a candidate for the state’s top job.

Michael Fedele was a relative unknown statewide when Governor Jodi Rell tapped him to be Lt. Governor. Now, with Rell stepping down after next years elections, he stands to be in the thick of the race.
