CT:One of this year’s lieutenant governor candidates, Penny Bacchiochi, echoes Michigan Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land’s recent ad by taking the Democrats go-to identity-politics maneuvers off the table.

“We’re looking at a $1.4 billion budget deficit, and that’s after the historic, largest-in-history tax increase when [Malloy] came in,” Bacchiochi said. “That’s important to every Connecticut resident. Connecticut is at a crossroads; we need to elect a fiscally conservative Republican and a lieutenant governor who can get that agenda through the legislature, passed into law, and get the state back on track.”
