Incumbent Ned Lamont (D) defeated Bob Stefanowski (R), Robert Hotaling (I), and Michelle Louise Bicking (write-in) in the general election for Governor of Connecticut on November 8, 2022. In addition, incumbent Susan Bysiewicz (D) was elected lieutenant governor. Lamont also defeated Stefanowski for governor in 2018, making this race a rematch.
According to the CT Insider, Lamont and Stefanowski “spent more than $30 million dollars…making this year’s race the most expensive campaign for governor in Connecticut history.”[1] Lamont, a former cable executive, contributed nearly $22 million of his own money to his campaign according to recent filings with Connecticut’s State Elections Enforcement Commission. Stefanowski, a business executive, loaned his campaign $12 million.[2]
Mark Pazniokas of The CT Mirror wrote the following about the election results: “Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat whose leadership during COVID-19 helped him rebound from first-year missteps and one of the lowest gubernatorial approval ratings in the U.S., won a second term Tuesday with a crushing victory over Republican Bob Stefanowski…In a battle of wealthy self-funders who collectively spent more than $34 million on their rematch, Lamont showed surprising strength in suburbs Stefanowski won four years ago, resisting what the GOP had hoped would be a red wave. Democrats maintained their strong majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly, flipping two House seats in Greenwich and winning a newly drawn district…”[3]
This was one of 36 gubernatorial elections that took place place in 2022. The governor serves as a state's top executive official and is the only executive office that is elected in all 50 states. At the time of the 2022 elections, there were 28 Republican governors and 22 Democratic governors. Click here for a map with links to our coverage of all 50 states' responses to the pandemic and here for an overview of all 36 gubernatorial elections that took place in 2022.
Heading into the 2022 elections, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 14 Democratic trifectas, and 13 divided governments where neither party held trifecta control. There were 23 Republican triplexes, 18 Democratic triplexes, and nine divided governments where neither party held triplex control.
A state government trifecta refers to a situation where one party controls a state's governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. A state government triplex refers to a situation where the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state are all members of the same political party.
Connecticut is both a state government trifecta and a triplex.

If you want better election choices, consider Unaffiliated Independents who are the largest majority in Connecticut meaning we're looking for something different. It also means we can win.
To achieve real progress, we must heal the polarization in social dialog, and bring everyone with good ideas and open minds together to develop common sense solutions to our CT issues. I maintain that only an independent Governor, elected by the voters of Connecticut, can move our state past the partisan divide that has blocked our progress -- and into a position of genuine progress and prosperity.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[4] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[5] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[6]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[7][8][9]
