Mark Boughton Casts His Vote in Public. Appears With Malloy Today In Danbury.

Danbury mayor and bitter Republican two-time gubernatorial hopeful Mark Boughton will join Democratic Governor Dannel P. Malloy this morning in an announcement in the Hat City. Malloy has been appearing in Connecticut cities this week dropping millions into cities and towns in an expensive tour of the state. In Groton, Malloy larded prosperous General Dynamics with $10 million to buy property from Pfizer, another company that enjoys billions in profits.

Boughton, the 2010 Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, abandoned his bid for the Republican nomination for governor this year when his second running mate of the campaign failed to qualify for the August primary ballot.

Boughton’s relationship with his former running mates–Foley in 2010 and Heather Bond Somers this year–is frosty on its best day.
