Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy Wins Re-Election
Published at(HARTFORD, Conn.) — Democratic Gov. Dannell Malloy has fended off a tough challenge from Republican candidate Tom Foley.
As of Wednesday afternoon with just over 96-percent of precincts reporting, Malloy had just over 50-percent of the vote to Foley’s 48-percent. Malloy also leads Foley with over 23,000 votes.
Foley conceded the race Wednesday afternoon.
