In Primary Poker Game Between Malloy and Lamont, the Race Cards Are Flying

Dan Malloy has been hammering Ned Lamont over an alleged incident of workplace racial discrimination that resulted in an out-of-court settlement. Today, a group of African American religious and political leaders, at least most of whom coincidentally support Lamont, will hold a 10 a.m. news conference “to denounce gubernatorial candidate Dan Malloy for his recent campaign tactics and his record on race as Mayor of Stamford.” The event will occur on the north steps of the Capitol, facing Bushnell Park. Among those scheduled to attend include Joe Suggs, the former state treasurer, Sen. Ed Gomes of Bridgeport and Sen. Toni Harp of New Haven and Rep. Toni Walker of New Haven. Lamont got the endorsement of Democrats in both Bridgeport and New Haven.
