Gov. Ned Lamont signaled Monday he will not be drawn into political intrigue over the selection of a successor to Comptroller Kevin P. Lembo, who announced Friday he was resigning at month’s end due to poor health.
Lamont said he was disinclined to pick someone who would use the appointment as a platform to seeking the Democratic nomination next year, when comptroller and the other five statewide constitutional offices are up for election.
