  • Dawn of a New Era
    CHAPTER FOUR Dawn of a New Era hen Democrat Jim Himes (2009-present) announced that he Wwould challenge Chris Shays for the fourth congressional district, few analysts, including this author, believed Himes would have much of a chance against the more experienced and seasoned Republican maverick. Many predicted that the power of incumbency would likely prevail and that once again Shays would be returned to Congress. After all, Himes had neither name recognition nor the sort of political experience one would expect of a serious congressional candidate. Himes’s political experience was essentially limited to his service as board chairman of the Greenwich Housing Authority and a stint on the Greenwich Board of Finance. He also served as chairman on the board of Aspira of Connecticut, a Bridgeport-based organization that assists young Latinos with educational opportunities.1 Himes was not in any way a public figure, nor had he served in the Connecticut General Assembly. Yet despite a shallow political resume, Himes did bring to the table a very impressive set of professional credentials. He was a former vice president with the Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs. He therefore had considerable expertise regarding financial and economic policy. He left his career as a Wall Street executive to lead a non-profit organization that helped companies secure financing for affordable housing projects. He was thus very familiar with the interplay of housing and banking policy. He was a graduate of Harvard University and a former Rhodes Scholar. 64 DAWN OF A NEW ERA Born in Peru to American parents and having lived in Latin America for the first ten years of his life, Himes was fluent in Spanish.
