The following is a statement from Dan Malloy, the Democratic Party’s endorsed candidate for Governor:

“Today’s decision is just one step in a long process, a process that I am confident will result in Connecticut’s public financing law remaining in place.  In the short-term, the decision has no impact on the primary election I’m engaged in – I’m as confident as ever that we’re going win on August 10th because this campaign represents values and experience that money can’t buy.

 “The questions facing Connecticut are do we want elections to be auctions won by the wealthy, and do we want to go back to the old way of doing business?  I can’t imagine we do, and I bet the people of Connecticut agree.  That’s why I’m confident that the State Elections Enforcement Commission and the Attorney General will pursue a remedy that puts the interests of the people first, and that the system so many worked so hard to put in place will be preserved and enhanced.”
