Republican state Rep. Brian Lanoue was endorsed unanimously in a bid for his third term in the newly reconfigured 45th state House District.

Lanoue, of Griswold, was endorsed at a district convention Tuesday night.

He currently serves on the legislature’s Banking Committee, Commerce Committee, Committee on Children, and is chairman of the Internship Committee.

“I am delighted to be nominated by the Republican Party for another term as state representative,” Lanoue said in a news release following the endorsement. “It has been the honor of my life to serve the people of the 45th as their representative in Hartford. I am pleased with what we have accomplished, whether it’s protecting kids from sexual predators, to combatting the opioid epidemic or making strides for more equitable state funding.”

Due to population shifts, the 45th District now includes Griswold, Voluntown, Preston, portions of Ledyard and Lisbon.
