|---|---|
Close race ratings in ConnecticutOn March 28, 2014,Democratic incumbentGov.Dan Malloy formally announced his bid for re-election to a second term. He again teamed up with 2010 running mate andLt. Gov.Nancy Wyman for the2014 race.[3] As the campaign season progressed, theDaily Kos labeled the race a toss-up. The rating was assigned in consideration of a series of polls showing Malloy behind or rivaling Republican nomineeTom Foley in potential general election match-ups.[5][6]The Cook Political Report, meanwhile, consistently rated Connecticut as "Lean D," meaning the race was competitive, but the Democrats had an advantage.[7] Rematch of 2010 campaignMalloy won the governorship inNovember 2010 following a general election campaign against Republican Tom Foley, a businessman and former U.S. ambassador to Ireland under former PresidentGeorge W. Bush. The contest ended over a week after the general election took place. There were several reversed calls on the outcome of the race before Malloy was announced as the winner.[8] At the May 2014 state Republican convention, delegates endorsed Foley for the second gubernatorial cycle in a row. Fellow GOP candidate andstate Sen.John McKinney also garnered enough delegate support to remain eligible for the nomination, preventing Foley from running unopposed in the August 12 primary.[9] Lieutenant gubernatorial primariesIncumbent Lieutenant GovernorNancy Wyman (D) was first elected in 2010 and sought re-election in 2014 alongsideConnecticut GovernorDan Malloy. Wyman and Malloy were uncontested in their respective primaries on August 12 and ran together in the general election. The outcome of the August 12Republican primary forConnecticut lieutenant governor remained unknown until Wednesday afternoon after election day, when state Rep.Penny Bacchiochi conceded the race to Groton Town Council Member and former MayorHeather Somers.[10][11][12] With 100 percent of precincts reporting, unofficial results provided by theConnecticut Secretary of State showed Somers defeating Bacchiochi by about 780 votes. Third-place finisherDavid Walker took 32 percent of the vote, about 1,000 votes behind Bacchiochi.[13] Under Connecticut election law, an automatic recount is triggered if the margin separating the highest vote-getters falls within 0.5 percent of the total number of ballots cast; for Somers and Bacchiochi, that meant a difference of 1,000 votes. Bacchiochi did not want to order a recount, however, stating it would only waste time.[10] Delegates of the Connecticut Republican Party had voted to back Bacchiochi for lieutenant governor at their convention in May.[14] Somers went on to share the ticket with GOP gubernatorial nomineeTom Foley in the general election battle against Democratic incumbents Gov.Dan Malloy and Lt. Gov.Nancy Wyman and the unaffiliated ticket ofJoe Visconti andChester Harris.[4] Independent candidatesOne independent candidate,Joe Visconti, appeared on the general election ballot along with Malloy and Foley. Former state Rep. and career political operativeJonathan Pelto also petitioned to run as an independent but failed to collect the minimum 7,500 signatures required to qualify for the race.[15] Pelto backed Malloy's 2010 gubernatorial campaign before breaking with the governor during his first term over his policies on education and taxes. Pelto's 2014 bid gained media attention in August when his candidate petition was signed by Ralph Nader. Nader's involvement in the Connecticut gubernatorial race raised concerns for Malloy and Democratic strategists, who accused Pelto of running in order to impact the election's outcome, not to win office.[16] | |

2010 Campaign themes
- Teachers: During a telephone town hall with 3,000 teachers on September 22, 2010, Malloy said funding from the state had not kept pace with the rate of education inflation. He called the concessions made by teachers noble. “I believe a contract is a contract is a contract,” Malloy said. Malloy added that he would “hold school systems harmless” for the 14.5 percent cut in education cost sharing grants imposed by Gov.M. Jodi Rell (R). According to Malloy, the cuts were hidden through the use of federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. He said he would return ECS grants at least to their original level when the stimulus funds expired.
- Merit Pay: Malloy said he did not support merit pay or making salaries reflect test results. He said such proposals were concerning and that some people might not teach in urban areas “for fear that their compensation would be withheld.” Instead, he said he supported “a system of review to ensure high-quality teachers.”
- Pensions: “We’re going to have to have the discipline to fully fund our pension funds,” Malloy said about Connecticut's ranking as the fifth worst state for funding pension obligations.[18]

A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state'spledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs).
