Bloomberg to Open the Spending Spigot for Connecticut Primary.

You’ll want to read Daniela Altimari’s story on the growing Bloomberg primary campaign in Connecticut. Bloomberg is hiring and planning to spend millions in the state in the run-up to the state’s April 28th primary. Expect the campaign to hire hundreds for a formidable primary day GOTV effort.

Connecticut’s presidential primary does not often attract much attention–sometimes because of the late primary date or in years when voting in larger states overshadows the contest here. This year could be different if a Democratic nominee does not emerge after March’s primaries.

Bloomberg’s 12 years as mayor of New York made him a familiar figure in Fairfield County, where Democrats have made notable gains in the past several years. The campaign is expected to emphasize endorsements from local officials.
