Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski will be in Fairfield Tuesday where he is expected to name state Rep. Laura Devlin as his running mate in the Connecticut gubernatorial race.

Stefanowski’s campaign confirmed the pick Monday night, just after an unofficial announcement was made to Fairfield Republicans.

"Laura is a fierce advocate for working- and middle-class families," said Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly in a statement. "All of Connecticut would be well served with Laura helping lead our state and standing up for the voices of Connecticut families."
