No, independent gubernatorial candidate Oz Griebel responded, he didn’t get a backroom handshake promising him a job in a Lamont administration in return for siphoning off Republican voters.
In fact, he argued, his Democratic and Republican opponents are siphoning off his voters: The middle-of-the-road majority.

Candidate surrounded by American Green Fuels staff
A thriving small factory in the New Haven harbor district that turns french fry and other vegetable oil and animal fat into carbon emission-reducing biodiesel fuel has over the past year increased its production capacity from 20 million gallons a year to 40 million – in part because it had a $20 million infusion of private investment for upgrades and new equipment.
It needs government help to take the next step to become a bigger part of the Connecticut’s green energy future.
In Georgia, Democrats are accusing the secretary of the state of blocking tens of thousands of black people from voting. In New Haven Sunday, black women working to turn out the vote heard a promise from Connecticut’s secretary of the state that she’ll make it easier, not harder, to vote here.

With New Haven’s seat considered safe, a traveling “brigade” of local Democratic campaign volunteers has regrouped for the first time in four years to help a political newcomer one district over win a pathbreaking bid for U.S. Congress.
Connecticut Democrats descended on Sherman Avenue to remind local politicos that the fate of November’s general election — and whether or not the state turns red — may rest on whether they can turn out the New Haven vote.

Yolanda Guzman made sure that Democratic lieutenant governor candidate Susan Bysiewicz didn’t leave her Grand Avenue bakery without taking a slice of tres leches cake.
In fact, Guzman packed eight slices of the three-milk Mexican dessert bread for the Democratic nominee: one slice for Bysiewicz, and one for each of the seven other local businesspeople, politicos, and campaign supporters who gave the former secretary of the state a walking tour of five different Fair Haven small businesses on Thursday afternoon.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy at Friday’s healthcare press conference.
People’s healthcare is on the ballot this November. And the vote is between broader and more affordable access on the one hand, and limited coverage and insurance company profits on the other.
That’s the way that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ned Lamont and U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy framed this year’s state and federal elections during a Friday morning healthcare-related press conference held in the city health department’s ninth floor public health clinic at 54 Meadow St.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski responded on Friday afternoon by calling Lamont “desperate” and his “false accusations” and not “bound by facts or concerned with the truth.”

Lamont onstage at the College Street Music Hall.
Accepting his party’s gubernatorial nomination with a crushing victory over a felonious opponent, Ned Lamont Tuesday night unveiled his first plan for getting the state’s economy back on track.
In an acceptance speech from the stage of New Haven’s College Street Music Hall, Lamont offered leaders of Connecticut’s cities and towns a deal to help stabilize both their own and the state’s finances: regionalization in return for support on municipal aid and local property taxes.
Outside the Edgewood School polling station Tuesday.
As Republicans and Democrats choose candidates for statewide offices in nine different primaries Tuesday, central party machines are having less influence than ever on who ends up the ballot.
Some of the candidates running hard, clockwise from top left: Eva Bermudez-Zimmerman, David Stemerman, Tim Herbst, Susan Bysiewicz, Joe Ganim, Ned Lamont.
New Haven voters get their first of two chances Tuesday to weigh in on who should assume four open top statewide elected jobs, with a posse of self-funding 1 percenters leading the pack.
