Thank you for your support and encouragement
With deep regret and strong sense of achievement, I am ending my bid for the Democratic nomination for Governor. I thank you and my many supporters who have given me encouragement, advice, time and donations over the past 12 months. I am wiser and wealthier as a result of this experience and you are a key reason.
While disappointed that my gubernatorial campaign has ended, I feel stronger and more energized by the strong support that you and hundreds of others have given to me. I hope to continue to work with you on issues that concern you. Please stay in contact with me.
You know, last year I started this campaign with the idea that jobs and Connecticut’s economic future are the most important challenges facing our state. At that time, I, --drawing on my many years of experience chairing the legislative Commerce Committee -- was virtually the only one saying this. Now, every candidate has recognized the importance of this issue. I will continue to fight for a more competitive and prosperous Connecticut, most likely by seeking reelection as state senator.
Thank you again for your support and encouragement.
