2022 Connecticut gubernatorial election



The 2022 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the Governor of Connecticut, concurrently with various state and local elections across the United States. Incumbent Democratic Governor Ned Lamont won re-election, defeating Republican Themis Klarides by a 6.65% margin.

Lamont overperformed his performance in 2018, despite the fact that 2018 was a much stronger year for the Democratic Party nationwide. This was attributed to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state by many political commentators. Despite this, his margin of victory was still significantly below other statewide elections in 2022.
