John Wednesday, 12 September 2001 Hi Joe, It was good to talk to you this morning. You perked me up after a very depressing day plus. Tuesday was a horrible day, and I still feel like hell. I arrived at work Tuesday morning as I usually do just before 7:30 AM. I was working on a document for our up coming Retail Entitlements project at about 8:45 when we heard the rumble of what sounded like a huge explosion.

Sometime between the first and second attack, a number of people came into the office. I tried to call my wife, Linda, who works in Princeton, NJ. Some people were panicking, wanting to leave the building. We were concerned about a number of people on the staff that I am a part of including my boss, Alan. We were in the conference room looking at the TV and looking at the fires at the WTC when WTC2 started to imploded. Jeannine was crying about her fiancé and her cousin. Tom called everyone together by his office. Shortly after that we saw WTC1 go down.

The special election was held to fill the seat of former Democratic state Rep. Elaine O’Brien of Suffield, a two-term legislator who died in February at 58 of brain cancer. Zawistowski, a pro-gun advocate and former president of the East Granby Chamber of Commerce, had lost when she ran for the seat against O’Brien in 2012. The district covers East Granby, Suffield, and parts of northern Windsor. Zawistowski had received support on the blog of the pro-gun Connecticut Citizens Defense League.

Insiders said that the race was emblematic of a broader trend in politics beyond the boundaries of the district. The race marks the second time that Republicans have recently won a previously Democratic legislative seat in a special election. Where Connecticut Dems Scratch That Progressive Itch. Connecticut Bob.
