EAST HAVEN — A former professional wrestler who once grappled with the likes of Hulk Hogan is now running for a state representative seat in Connecticut.
Tracey hung up his boots and tights more than 25 years ago, but for five years he was known as “Dave Paradise” in the then-World Wrestling Federation.
Now, Tracey is challenging incumbent state Rep. James Albis, a Democrat, for the seat. Tracey, who’s running as a Republican, owns three local businesses and has lived in East Haven for 17 years.
Tracey says he’s running because he cares about the town’s residents.
