Elections in Connecticut State elections Governor Lieutenant Governor Attorney General Secretary of the State State Treasurer State Comptroller State Senate State House
The2018 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2018, to elect the nextgovernor andlieutenant governor of Connecticut , concurrently with theelection of Connecticut'sClass I U.S. Senate seat , as well asother elections to the United States Senate in other states,elections to the United States House of Representatives , and variousstate andlocal elections . This race's Democratic margin of victory was the closest to the national average of 3.1 points. (It was 0.1 point more Democratic.)
As Connecticut does not have gubernatorial term limits, incumbentDemocratic governorDannel Malloy was eligible to run for a third term, but declined to do so.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] After the resignation of Kansas governorSam Brownback in January 2018, Malloy became the most unpopular governor in the United States.[ 4] [ 5] The general election was between2006 Democratic U.S. Senate nomineeNed Lamont , and Republican financial executiveBob Stefanowski . Independent candidate and former RepublicanOz Griebel has been called aspoiler candidate for Stefanowski, earning 3.89% of the vote.[ 6] Lamont was re-elected Governor in2022 in a rematch with Stefanowski.
