Clergy to Lamont: Earn our support by tackling school segregation Cloe Poisson :: CTMirror.org Rev. Trevor Beauford, pastor of Union Baptist Church, holds up a Bible during a rally in front of Hartford City Hall this summer. Union Baptist is a member of Faith Acts for Education. Clergy from Connecticut’s three largest cities reminded Gov. Ned Lamont this week that he needs their support to win re-election, and they challenged him to earn it by tackling the “racist and classist” way the state funds the struggling, segregated schools in their neighborhoods. If not the first public overture to the governor by a Democratic constituency group about the 2022 campaign, the clergy’s 40-minute online talk with the governor on Tuesday was the bluntest. They kicked off the talk with some political math: The 55,000 votes cast for Lamont from their communities exceeded his 44,000-vote margin of victory.
