Connecticut Working Families Party Weighs Which Democrat to Support for Governor

On August 29, the Connecticut Working Families Party held a meeting to hear from all the contenders from the Democratic Party for governor next year. See this story, which says that 158 WFP members attended.

The Connecticut Working Families Party has been on the ballot for some offices in Connecticut since 2002, but so far it hasn’t been on the ballot for any statewide race. But, the party expects to run a full slate for statewide office in 2010. It is free to either cross-endorse the Democratic nominees, or conceivably a Republican nominee (although that is unlikely) or to run its own members.

Connecticut Working Families Party Weighs Which Democrat to Support for Governor — 5 Comments

  1. Yes, but in states in which the Working Families Party is a qualified party and in which it must nominate by primary, there is always the possibility for surprise.

    But, in Connecticut, the Working Families Party nominates by convention.

  2. I know the WFP is more of a pressure group than a party, but I still think that if there isn’t a progressive Democrat in place they should support the Green instead.
