As a super PAC attacks Gov. Ned Lamont on television, the Democratic Governors Association registered its own PAC in Connecticut this week, a necessary first step if the DGA is to defend the Democratic incumbent.
The DGA declined Thursday to discuss its plans or budget for Stronger CT, a super PAC registered Wednesday with no mention of its affiliation. But it is chaired by Andrew Whalen, who oversees independent expenditures for the DGA.
Now, Republican Bob Stefanowski has deposited $10 million into his own campaign account, and two independent-expenditure groups are assisting the GOP with digital and television ads opposing Lamont.
