GUILFORD, Conn. — Adam Greenberg, wearing a violet tie and an assured expression, inched closer to the edge of his chair at the Guilford Community Center. Instead of waiting for a pitch he could hit, he was now making one as an aspiring politician.
At stake was the endorsement of 40 Republican delegates to run for Connecticut’s 12th Senate District seat. Ted Kennedy Jr., a son of the senator from Massachusetts who died in 2009, had held the seat for four years and was now leaving office.
“I was confident,’’ Greenberg said last week as he thought back to that moment this spring when he addressed the delegates.
