The Independent Party of Connecticut has chosen Tom Marsh to run for Governor this year. He is an elected Selectman in Chester. Marsh was elected as a Republican, but has now switched his registration to show membership in the Independent Party. The Independent Party nominated Ralph Nader for President in 2008 and is ballot-qualified for some offices in Connecticut. He has several elected office-holders in Waterbury. See this story.
In 1990, Lowell Weicker founded ‘A Connecticut Party’ as a vehicle for his successful run for governor, and the ACP also ran a gubernatorial candidate in 1994.
Is the ACP now defunct?
Yes it is. as far as I know it does not have a ballot line anywhere in CT.
