<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Democratic Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont cruised to re-election in the deep-blue state Tuesday evening, besting Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski in the pair&#8217;s second gubernatorial matchup, <a href="https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/national/2022-governor">according</a> to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.</span></p>
<p>Both wealthy men, Lamont and Stefanowski spent big money on the race — even more than in their previous matchup years ago. Lamont and Stefanowski spent a combined total of $34 million through October 30, with the incumbent outspending his Republican challenger 2-1, The CT Mirror <a href="https://ctmirror.org/2022/11/03/ned-lamont-bob-stefanowski-ct-governor-race-spending/">reported</a> November 1.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This cycle Lamont spent a total of $21.7 million, far more than the $15.9 million the Democrat spent in the 2018 matchup, the report noted. Stefanowski shelled out $12.2 million, almost doubling the $6.6 million he spent on the previous gubernatorial race, which he lost by 3%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mirroring most midterms races across the nation, the Connecticut gubernatorial election was focused on the economy &#8212; specifically decades-high inflation; crime, and abortion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the race tightened last month, Lamont campaign press secretary Onotse Omoyeni hit Stefanowski for his &#8220;extreme anti-choice and anti-gun safety positions.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As has been clear throughout this race, Bob’s extreme anti-choice and anti-gun safety positions – coupled with his constant negativity – continue to turn voters against his candidacy,&#8221; Omoyeni </span><a href="https://ctexaminer.com/2022/10/15/its-the-economy-stupid-new-poll-shows-tightening-races-for-governor-and-senate/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the Connecticut Examiner, adding that Lamont &#8220;remains laser-focused on working to grow Connecticut’s economy, providing relief for Connecticut families, and getting our fiscal house in order.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stefanowski focused on crime and the economy, blasting his opponent for failing his constituents during his four-year term.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Governor Lamont has had four years to fix the state and he’s failed,&#8221; the Republican told the outlet. &#8220;Higher taxes are making inflation worse, people feel less safe, and our state economy is tanking.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;More people every day realize that one-party rule is failing us and it’s time for a change,&#8221; Stefanowski added. &#8220;(Lt. gubernatorial candidate) Laura Devlin and I have detailed plans to make CT more affordable and safe on Day One and we are looking forward to the final weeks of this race.”</span></p>
