NEW HAVEN — Ned Lamont is running for Governor.

Lamont said in a statement:

“I am proud to call Connecticut my home, to start my business here and raise my family here. We have many great assets and people want to live here, but we are falling behind. We need to fix our state budget and improve our economy so more people and businesses can continue to stay in Connecticut and find opportunity to advance here. Like many parents, I want my three children to stay here, to work and to raise a family in a thriving Connecticut.”

“Business people are measured by their results and Connecticut needs results right now; we’ve got to change how we do businesses. More good-paying jobs, more companies moving into Connecticut that attract talent, more leaders willing to come together to find common ground, fix our budget, and get our state moving again. We have serious issues to address and our leaders will need to tell the truth about how we are going to solve our biggest problems.”

Lamont plans to roll out his agenda in the comings months which aims on addressing the state budget, finances, and growing the state’s economy.

Lamont, 64, has been a small business owner and entrepreneur for over 25 years. He founded Lamont Digital Systems (Campus Televideo), a company that challenged the cable utilities to provide a better service at a lower cost to students. In 2006, Lamont  won a primary election against US Senator Joe Lieberman, but later lost to Lieberman who ran as an Independent.
