Connecticut’s Governor Malloy announced today he will not seek reelection in 2018. The two-term Governor, who holds the current title of least favorable Governor nationwide, said this is not why he was choosing to pass on running for a third term. He said it was because he was ready for another stage in his life with his wife Cathy.

The Chairman of the Democrat’s Governors Association, owns the title of raising the two largest tax hike increases consecutively in the history of the state for residents to assume, yet always gave salary increases and bonuses to his staff.

The state of Connecticut, which continues to stay in first or second place in a laundry list of highest taxes for residents across the United States, has seen major businesses leaving, a population decrease, and even their own pensioned state workers moving to more tax friendly states to enjoy their retirement.

There are many articles, news broadcasts and releases about Malloy’s decision today.

Here is one, from former Secretary of the State candidate Peter Lumaj (2014), who is seeking a state office run in 2018. At this time he has raised almost a quarter of a million dollars since his exploratory committee was announced in 2016.

After two failed terms as Governor of  Connecticut, Dan Malloy has announced that he will not seek reelection in 2018! Over the past six years, Malloy’s failed liberal policies have pushed business out, wages down and deficits up – Connecticut is at the brink of economic collapse.

In fact, I think it is fair to say that “Gov. Malloy’s decision not to run for reelection is the first step he has made to foster the success and growth of Connecticut.”

I think its time that we had a #FreshStart4CT, that’s why I formed an exploratory committee last September to consider a run for statewide office in Connecticut in 2018. We need a fresh approach to business as usual and a true conservative outsider willing to take on and dismantle Hartford.

Please consider standing with me and the other strong, courageous, conservative members of our Lumaj Explore Team as we stand up and fight back! Together we can save this state for your family, my family and for future generations to come!

I hope you will consider supporting me today with a generous $100 contribution.
