Republican Tom Foley has not conceded the gubernatorial election to Democrat Dannel Malloy -- but Independent Party candidate Tom Marsh says Malloy is the winner, and he issued a statement congratulating him oon Saturday. Here's the statement:
"I congratulate Dan Malloy on his hard- fought victory and wish him well as he begins the task of addressing the significant challenges facing Connecticut. I encourage the Governor-elect, as well as our new legislature and constitutional officers, to be true to their campaign pledges to make government more responsive and effective, address the burdensome bureaucracy that has stifled economic growth in our state, and to represent the interests of citizens rather than narrow concerns of special interests. I challenge every member of the electorate to hold their elected officials accountable to their word, to stay engaged in the process, and demand better than what we have seen in the past.
