The CT General Assembly ended its 2023 session with votes on bills addressing campaign finance and municipal pension reforms.
One bill would increase the total amount of CEP grants available to gubernatorial candidates to $13.6 million, while another would go as high as $18.7 million.
Ned Lamont and Bob Stefanowski spent more than $30 million, a record-breaking amount. But the high expenditure may trigger a review of the state’s election spending limits.
With another $2 million contribution last month, Stefanowski’s total personal investment is now $12 million.
In filings with the State Elections Enforcement Commission, the source of the new committee’s funding is relatively opaque: Advancing Connecticut’s only donor is a pass-through entity, the Republican Governors Association.
