Deal: Lamont-Bysiewicz.

Susan Bysiewicz has sued for peace and will join Greenwich self-funder Ned Lamont as his running mate at this Saturday’s Democratic convention, Daily Ructions has learned.

Bysiewicz will abandon her third bid for governor and eighth run for statewide office to run with Lamont. Bysiewicz began the 2018 campaign cycle determined to run for the state Senate from Middletown-Meriden. She enlarged her exploratory committee to statewide office and then became a candidate for governor. The former secretary of the state and Chris Murphy antagonist struggled to raise the $250,000 required to qualify for public financing of her campaign and was unable to articulate a coherent message on what she would do as governor.

The second spot on the Democratic ticket will be a safe place for Bysiewicz to avoid a deep dive into the substance of the hard public policy choices facing Connecticut.
