Many liberals are a mystery to me. The only crimes that anger them are thought crimes against Political Correctness.
Dr. Petit is running for the state legislature this year as a Republican. I’m unable to find a campaign website. Here’s an article:

Honest to God I don’t know if I could keep my sanity if this happened to my wife and young daughters. My hat is off to him merely for staying productive as a healer.
I don’t think his campaign has a website yet. I suspect this is a half-hearted effort because that Plainville-New Britain district has been in the hands of the ‘crats for decades. If he seriously wanted to get involved, Dr. Petit probably would have run for Congress from the 5th district against Espy. She might have been vulnerable, and that district is largely suburban and rural, with a fair number of (R)-controlled towns. The 5th was represented for years by Nancy Johnson, until the dems took the seat probably 10 yrs ago now.
Bill Petit is a good man. When he was still practicing endocrinology, his patients loved him. He was about the best around. I remember his inner office at the Joslin Clinic in Plainville. Above the inside door frame, there was a framed 8 x 10” photo of him shaking hands with President Regan, Geo.H.W.Bush looking on. I never asked him about it, but from the background it looked like it was taken in the White House.
