One donor spent $2.2M underwriting ads attacking Ned Lamont

CT Truth PAC, launched in February by Old Lyme businessman J. David Kelsey to produce TV commercials opposing the reelection of Gov. Ned Lamont, quit the race surprisingly early, making its last TV ad expenditure in June.

Happily for the Republican nominee, Bob Stefanowski, a new political action committee with twice the budget, Advancing Connecticut, quickly filled the void and has been airing ads questioning the integrity of Lamont and his wife.

And Kelsey, as it turns out, didn’t stop spending on trying to unseat the governor. Not by a long shot.
