A blue wave? Actually, the blues got bluer, but the reds also got redder

Avatar photo by Jake Kara November 9, 2018 @ 5:00 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 11:44 pm

A blue wave swept across Connecticut to give Democrats solid majorities in the General Assembly, but the race for governor offered little sign of a political realignment: If anything, the reds got redder and the blues got bluer on the state’s electoral map.
Almost 100 towns voted more strongly in favor of the party they had chosen in 2014.

Elite group in CT raising millions for Clinton

Avatar photo by Ana Radelat October 25, 2016 @ 12:17 pmMarch 4, 2022 @ 11:02 pm

WASHINGTON — An exclusive group of about two dozen Connecticut residents has raised millions of dollars to help put Hillary Clinton in the White House by “bundling” contributions from friends, associates and anyone else willing to give to the candidate. The Trump campaign has not disclosed its bundlers.

Can Connecticut’s campaign finance reforms be saved?

Avatar photo by Mark Pazniokas January 19, 2015 @ 5:16 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:33 pm

Reform it. Leave it alone. Blow it up. Prescriptions for fixing Connecticut’s system of publicly financing campaigns vary wildly. Its tight limits on contributions and spending turned porous in 2014, tarnishing what had been a shiny instrument of campaign finance reform.

Avatar photo by Mark Pazniokas November 26, 2014 @ 12:38 pmMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

With the last amended results dribbling in Wednesday morning, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill certified the results of the 2014 election: Yes, Dannel P. Malloy is the winner.

Republican Tom Foley called Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to concede defeat in Connecticut’s race for governor Wednesday afternoon, about 12 hours after the first-term Democratic incumbent declared victory. Malloy won by 27,348, quadruple his plurality in 2010.

Avatar photo by Ana Radelat November 5, 2014 @ 3:49 pmMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:30 pm

Malloy vs. Foley in maps: What changed from 2010 to 2014?

by CT Mirror StaffNovember 5, 2014 @ 3:07 pmFebruary 6, 2023 @ 1:15 pm

An analysis of the polling data shows that Gov. Dannel Malloy didn’t poll much better in cities than last time. But he did improve on the Shoreline and near Newtown. In the above image, green towns are where his margin of victory over Republican Tom Foley was better this time than in 2010.

Once more, decision day is here for Malloy and Foley

Avatar photo by Mark Pazniokas November 3, 2014 @ 10:48 pmMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did for Tom Foley on Monday what President Obama did for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Sunday: Tell the activists the election is up to their efforts Tuesday, even after $30 million in spending.

Foley’s tax relief on retirement benefits would cost about $100 million

Avatar photo by Keith M. Phaneuf November 3, 2014 @ 12:18 pmMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

Much of Tom Foley’s last-minute proposal to cut taxes on Social Security benefits already is covered in existing state law. And the GOP gubernatorial nominee’s overall tax relief proposal on retirement benefits would expand Connecticut’s post-election deficit by roughly $100 million next fiscal year.

Malloy leads Foley by 3 in final Quinnipiac poll

Avatar photo by Mark Pazniokas November 3, 2014 @ 7:29 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

Buoyed by a solidifying Democrat base, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy opened a three-point lead Monday over Republican Tom Foley in a Quinnipiac University poll that’s likely to be the last word on Connecticut’s race for governor until the polls close Tuesday night.

After all the campaign promises, a lot of tough choices loom

Avatar photo by Keith M. Phaneuf November 3, 2014 @ 5:32 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

Though Connecticut’s gubernatorial contenders spent more time this fall talking about tax cuts than state budget deficits, the red ink awaiting the winner of Tuesday’s contest is very real – and can’t be wiped away without tough choices.

by Jennifer Alexander November 3, 2014 @ 5:30 amMarch 4, 2022 @ 10:29 pm

Connecticut needs an education funding system that allows all families to access good schools, not just those who can afford them.
