" HARTFORD, CT — Gov. Ned Lamont says he’s not done.

In officially announcing his bid for a third term (he confirmed his intention to do so last week) Lamont said Connecticut had made remarkable progress, but there was more to do to make sure everyone was sharing in it.

'I’m working to keep the confidence of our state’s residents, businesses, and more to build our momentum by delivering for working families,' he said in a statement. 'Let’s keep Connecticut moving forward, together.'

In his announcement, Lamont cited the state’s progress in reducing pension liabilities, middle class tax cuts, protection of abortion rights, immigrant safeguards and investments in education and childcare.

'I’m running because Connecticut deserves leadership that fights for the future of our kids and our communities,' Lamont said. 'We’ve come too far, and because of what we’ve been able to achieve, let’s do more for the people of Connecticut.' "
