Hartford, Ct. – Democratic National Committeewoman and former Connecticut Democratic Party Chair Nancy DiNardo released the following statement.

“I served as state party chair for six years without a Democratic governor, and I can assure you that we would not be the party we are today without Dan Malloy,” said DiNardo. “I was proud to serve as chair when he was elected governor in 2010 and throughout his first term. The decision today only solidifies Governor Malloy’s commitment to the task and obligation of leading our party and our state. As I’ve seen and learned up close, he has always focused on building a stronger future for our candidates, our elected officials, and our state, no matter if it’s politically expedient. As Connecticut’s Democratic National Committeewoman, I know well that our national party continues to benefit from his leadership and his commitment to the causes in which he believes.”
