The Connecticut Republican Party attacked Gov. Ned Lamont’s integrity and his management of the COVID-19 pandemic Monday with an inexpensive digital ad geared at garnering free exposure in press coverage and on social media.
The ad released on Twitter comes in what otherwise is a lull before the 2022 campaign begins in earnest: Lamont declared his candidacy two months ago, but the Democrat has yet to create a campaign website or hire a communications staff.
