Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy Wins Re-Election
Published at
(L) FEMA (R) Ct State Dept(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.
In the concession speech posted on his website, Foley did not congratulate his opponent, but made clear he will not contest the results.
The race was a re-match, as the two faced off in 2010, but back then Malloy only beat Foley by about 6,000 votes.
