Gubernatorial Candidates Bet On Themselves

HARTFORD, CT —The race for governor just got a little more expensive with four of the five candidates giving their campaigns more of their own money.

Democrat Ned Lamont contributed an additional $8.2 million to his campaign bringing his total investment in the race to $12.1 million, just $2 million more than his losing primary bid in 2010.

The campaign ended the month of September with $5.5 million in its war chest.

Republican Bob Stefanowski also loaned his campaign an additional $400,000 last month. That brings his total investment in his campaign up to $3 million. He has raised a total of $2 million from individuals. However, he’s spent all but $747,520 of it and he has about $148,000 in outstanding bills so he’s going to have to continue fundraising.
