Unions, RGA pump another $1.9 million into CT governor’s race
The Republican Governors Association contributed $800,000 Friday to a super PAC backing Republican Tom Foley, while two national public-employee unions put up $1.1 million to back Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, the first-term Democratic incumbent, according to filings late Friday night.

He later named a leader of a teachers’ union to the State Board of Education.
