Lamont Endorses Himself, Elliott Pushes Back | Hartford News
Description
Connecticut AFL-CIO officially endorses Governor Ned Lamont for reelection after a tense, behind-the-scenes vote, despite friction over labor policies and tax proposals. Meanwhile, in the First District race, the AFL-CIO’s neutrality leaves incumbent John B. Larson without crucial labor backing — while challenger Luke Bronin, though not endorsed, already holds a union nod from the 4Cs. Though Lamont won the endorsement, the close vote and Elliott’s growing union support reveal deep internal debates within organized labor about the state’s future direction — and the fight’s far from over.
