Boughton Forms “Commmittee” to Begin 3rd Bid for Governor.
Mark Boughton, who fell far short of victory in 2010 and 2014 bids for governor, has formed a “commmittee” to launch a third attempt for the Republican nomination for the state’s highest office. The Danbury mayor and former state representative makes the odd announcement in his online declaration that he has been sitting “idly by” as Connecticut has declined. Not true, he was a leader in the recent education funding court case that calls for denying an education to students with special needs and yanking funding from many suburban towns and giving it to urban ones. Welcome to Boughton’s Connecticut.
