HARTFORD – Dannel P. Malloy, the former Stamford mayor who lost the 2006 Democratic primary for governor, made it official Tuesday afternoon, filing candidacy papers with state officials.
Emerging to cheers from about 150 people gathered on the sidewalk in front of the State Elections Enforcement Commission, Malloy pointed across the street at the Capitol and declared he’s ready to change state government.
“In so many issues, time and time again, we have failed the people of Connecticut,” he said, likening Connecticut government to running a major city. “It’s time that we have that kind of leadership in that building over there. It’s time for change.”
