MALLOY: ZOGBY POLL IS ‘A WARNING TO CONNECTICUT POLITICIANS’
Says poll should serve as proof of how strongly Connecticut voters feel about public financing

January 27, 2010 – Potential candidate for Governor Dan Malloy, the former Mayor of Stamford, responded today to a Zogby International poll which found that Connecticut voters overwhelmingly support public financing, with 79 percent of respondents supporting the Citizens’ Elections Program as described.  Said Malloy:

 

“This poll should serve as proof of just how strongly Connecticut voters feel about campaign finance reform, and as a warning for those candidates who think they can brush aside the Citizens’ Election Program in order to try and buy a nomination.

 

“No candidate in Connecticut this year – Democrat or Republican – should take for granted the undeniable fact that the people of Connecticut are tired of special interests and big money, and the influence they’ve had on Connecticut elections.   It’s clear that what this state wants is for its elections to be about something more meaningful than who has the deepest pockets and who can saturate the airwaves with the most 30-second TV spots.

 

“People get the connection between the way campaigns have been financed and the mess we’re in.”
