Former State Senator Jonathon Harris dropped his bid for governor and threw his support to Ned Lamont. From the joint press release today:
“Today, I am announcing that I am ending my campaign for governor,” said Harris. “Public service is and will always be close to my heart. I am proud to have dedicated myself to advancing my community in West Hartford and fighting to make Connecticut a great place to live.”

Harris then went on to explain his endorsement of Ned Lamont: “When I entered the race, I said that Connecticut needed a bold leader who isn't afraid to speak openly and tackle tough issues. With that in mind, I am happy to announce my support for Ned Lamont for Governor.”
“Ned is someone I have become close with over the past few months and I know that he has the fresh perspective we need to fix our state’s budget problems and the leadership to build a real grass movement that brings people together to change Connecticut for the better. I hope that my supporters join me in getting behind Ned Lamont. Ned gives Democrats the best chance to win this November, and that is our best chance to bring positive change to our state."
Ned accepted the endorsement with gratitude and acknowledgement of Harris's accomplishments.
The State Democratic convention is scheduled for May 18th and 19th. I'm hoping to get press credentials once again, this time as a social media blogger. (Meaning my blog posts will all be less than the limit of a Tweet, and I'll probably post quite a few photos and cellphone videos!)
