Senate president endorses Lamont’s bid for governor
Putnam, Conn. — Senate President Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, Thursday endorsed Ned Lamont’s candidacy for governor.

Williams is the highest ranking legislator in the state General Assembly and the highest ranking Democrat in the state.

“This election for governor will be the most important election for governor in our lifetime,” Williams said during a press conference in Putnam.

The endorsement announcement’s location in Putnam was symbolic: The town’s position on the Rhode Island border is on the opposite side of the state from Lamont’s hometown of Greenwich.

“There are 169 towns in this state, and I’m going to all of them to reintroduce myself,” Lamont said. “This is a very different race.”

I heard this news on WINY 1350AM, Putnam's radio station, this morning.

This is a good boost for Lamont. Williams is the highest ranking Democrat in the state and being from the opposite corner of CT from Lamont, helps show that Lamont's campaign is a statewide one.
