Episode Details

State Rep Josh Elliott, a progressive from Connecticut, is challenging Governor Ned Lamonts expected third-term nomination. Elliott, inspired by figures like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, is advocating for significant changes such as public electric utilities, health insurance profit squeezing, and tax hikes on millionaires. Despite some Democratic support, labor unions mostly back Lamont. Elliott has raised $118,816 in his best quarter, but still needs $130,000 more to unlock public matching funds. With the May convention approaching, Elliott aims for 15% of delegates to trigger an August primary, the first against a sitting governor in decades.
