Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announces run for third term, touts record but says there's more to do

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont formally launched his bid for a third term Friday, highlighting his record but saying more work is needed to improve health care access, housing availability and energy affordability. Lamont's announcement comes on the heels of successful municipal elections for Democrats in Connecticut. With a reputation as a fiscal moderate, Lamont is facing a primary from progressive Democratic Rep. Josh Elliott of Hamden, who has criticized the governor for being too centrist and not supporting higher taxes on the wealthy.
