Kevin Lembo Expected to Announce Resignation Today.

Three term State Comptroller Kevin Lembo is expected to announce his resignation today, Daily Ructions has learned. The Guilford Democrat had not disclosed if he would seek a fourth term in 2022. That announcement was expected this month.

Lembo won his party’s endorsement at its 2010 convention and won a convincing victory in that summer’s Democratic primary. He was the state’s healthcare advocate at the time.

Lembo’s relationship with Dannel P. Malloy’s administration could be frosty during the Stamford Democrats two terms. Lembo has been frustrated at Governor Ned Lamont’s reluctance to support Lembo’s plans to have the state compete with private health insurance companies.
