Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is hoping to fend off a challenge from Republican businessman Bob Stefanowski in a political rematch that's been both expensive and feisty, focusing on hot-button issues like abortion, crime, parental rights and affordability.
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is hoping to fend off a challenge from Republican businessman Bob Stefanowski in a political rematch from 2018.In rematch of the election he won four years ago, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is hoping to fend off Republican businessman Bob Stefanowski following a feisty, expensive campaign battle that has focused on abortion, crime and the cost of living.
Early returns showed Lamont with an edge late Tuesday night but it remained too early to call a winner.If Stefanowski wins Tuesday's election, he would become the state's first Republican governor in more than a decade. The last GOP governor in Connecticut was M. Jodi Rell, who left office in January 2011.
Voters have been deluged with TV ads paid for by various political action committees as well as the candidates themselves, who've each invested millions of dollars of their own money in the race. Former President Donald Trump backed Stefanowski in his 2018 run, but he did not weigh in on this year's race. Also, Stefanowski didn't seek a rating from the National Rifle Association. In 2018, he received an A rating. Lamont has received an F for 2022.
