Big Get: Harp Will Endorse Lamont.
Toni Harp, New Haven’s popular mayor, will endorse wealthy Greenwich Democrat Ned Lamont for governor on Thursday, Daily Ructions can report. The move should be accompanied by a significant chunk of votes from the biggest delegation to the party nominating convention later this month.
The Harp move will be another blow to Lamont rival Susan Bysiewicz. The Middletown Democrat and former secretary of the state has seen her promising third bid for governor stall as delegates and donors have been thin on the ground in her eighth campaign for statewide office.
