$9,118,582.14

$9,118,582.14

That’ s the amount that Ned Lamont has spent so far on his Gubernatorial primary campaign.

As Dan campaigns across the state, voters are making their choice.  They are making a decision based on values and experience. They are choosing which candidate can lead from day one, and who can help turn Connecticut around. They are choosing which candidate can fight for the middle class, protect  our seniors, and make this state great again. They are choosing Dan.

Help keep this momentum alive.   Can we count on you to volunteer on election day and one time before? Sign up today.

Ned feels it, and knows that if voters make a choice based on values and experience, Dan wins. His response? Pour in money.  As voters learn more about Dan and Ned, they are supporting Dan in droves.   Ned realizes that, and just last week alone, put in $1,750,000 of his family’s money.

Help us fight back. Your help can make sure that this is an election, not an auction. Join our election day team today.

Ned enjoyed a lead when the campaign was about money, when his millions helped him campaign in a vacuum, before voters could make a choice based on both candidates values and experience.  Once Dan had the resources and grassroots support to make this a race about values and experience, Ned’s lead has evaporated.   Dan is in a position to win.

Help us finish strong and get the message out these final days. Please sign up today to join our election day team, and volunteer one time .

Sincerely,

Dan Kelly

Dan Malloy for Governor

PS –  You should be proud of all that you’re doing.. I sure am.  Even in the face of $9,118,582.14, Dan is in a position to win thanks to all that you’ve done.  Let’s not stop now – sign up today to volunteer on election day and one time before.

That’ s the amount that Ned Lamont has spent so far on his Gubernatorial primary campaign.

It’s Working

BY DAN KELLY

It’s been a busy week on the campaign trail, and these last days have made one thing abundantly clear.

What we’re doing is working.

In the past week, Dan earned the endorsement of the Hartford Courant, New London Day, Connecticut Post, and Norwich Bulletin.  Leaders like Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney andRepresentative Chris Caruso have endorsed Dan. Our canvasses and phonebanks are larger than ever, and we’re thrilled to see Ned caving to the political pressure and joining Dan in a debate!

Your phone calls, your canvassing, and your efforts will make the difference and will put us over the top on election day.  Can we count on you to volunteer on Election Day and one day before?

This race is competitive and will likely be decided on by only a handful of votes.  With only a couple hours on the phone or knocking on doors, you can make all the difference and help put us over the top on August 10th.  Volunteering on election day and one day before can make the difference.

There is a clear difference in the race; we are fighting for the right candidate.  Here’s what others said about the race this week:

1- Dan Malloy’s “…grand vision transformed Stamford during his 14 years as its chief executive.” -Hartford Courant

2- Dan Malloy “…will be more effective in the general election and…would make the better governor if elected.” – New London Day

3- “We believe that Malloy’s background is an advantage, a significant value that cannot be overlooked or taken for granted.” -Norwich Bulletin

Our opponent has poured in nearly seven million dollars of his personal fortune in an attempt to buy the election.

He’s relying on negative and misleading attacks in a last ditch attempt to buy the election. He discounted and underestimated what you and Dan could accomplish together. They know that if voters choose their candidate on values and experience, they lose; they will do anything they can to distract from the facts.

Help us fight back.  Will you sign up today to volunteer on Election Day and one day before?

Sincerely,

Dan Kelly

Dan Malloy for Governor

P.S. – The momentum is behind us, but we need your help.  Can we count on you to join our final push, by volunteering on Election Day and one day before?

Weekend Endorsements

BY DAN MALLOY

This weekend, I was proud to be endorsed by the Hartford Courant, Connecticut Post, Norwich Bulletin and the Day of New London.

In making their endorsements, the papers stressed my experiences as Mayor of Stamford in helping to turn the city around, as well as the vision I’ve put forth for how we can do the same for Connecticut. We face serious challenges, and as these endorsements point out, I have the values and experience necessary to overcome those challenges and get our state back on track.

Here are some excerpts from the endorsements:

Hartford Courant (August 1, 2010)

Dan Malloy’s “…grand vision transformed Stamford during his 14 years as its chief executive.”

“…Mr. Lamont is less detailed than Mr. Malloy on cutting spending in state government. And Mr. Lamont’s refusal, until recently, to do any more one-on-one debates with Mr. Malloy has been troubling for a candidate who wants to lead Connecticut through tough times.”

Dan Malloy “…is the better choice for the challenges ahead.”

Connecticut Post (August 1, 2010)

“Lamont cannot point to real-world experience running a major public enterprise, and Malloy can.”

“…Malloy is one who has actually delivered.”

“We trust Malloy is the best of the Democratic candidates to get the state’s finances under control, entice businesses to start hiring again and get the state of Connecticut back on track.”

“Malloy has the combination of executive experience, political savvy and determination to turn the course of a lumbering, undisciplined machine and redirect its energy in a positive direction.”

The Day (July 31, 2010)

“Whatever it is that puts people at ease, Mr. Malloy appears to have it. His innate political skills will serve him well in what should prove a tough general election. Conversely, Mr. Lamont’s refusal to debate in the closing days of the campaign, only to flip-flop when the criticism became intense, showed poor political judgment.”

Dan Malloy “…will be more effective in the general election and…would make the better governor if elected.”

“When it comes to governing, Mr. Malloy’s experience as a mayor better prepares him for the state’s top job, while Mr. Lamont faces a steep learning curve.”

Norwich Bulletin (August 1, 2010)

“We believe that Malloy’s background is an advantage, a significant value that cannot be overlooked or taken for granted.”

“Lamont refers to the governor as the CEO, understandably so given his business background. But government is not a business. It’s an entity composed of three separate and independent branches.  We think Malloy has the right government experience to lead.”
