Safe D. Lamont is the most popular Governor in years in CT. If Republicans couldn't win in 2014 with Malloy being unpopular and one of the best years for Republicans it will be hard for them to win in 2022.
Do you think if a big name like Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, a Republican, ran, he would make it competitive?
I doubt it. Depends if Cashman runs as a moderate or not the one thing that would help him with independents is Cashman has not been involved in local politics but that could hurt him getting the GOP nomination. If the GOP had nominated Erin Stewart in 2018 she probably beats Lamont.
Why is Bronz so obsessed with these sports figures coming out of nowhere to run for political office, it's dumb.
Yeah I don't really understand why Cashman would run when he has a job plus he has always kept a low profile.
Cashman is a staunch Republican, he is a friend of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and he supported his nomination, he probably voted for Trump as well. Kavanaugh and Cashman went to school together. He could pour millions to the CTGOP. He would make the race competitive plus put Darien into the GOP column again. He lives in Darien.
He could run in 2022 or 2026---if the Yankees continue to fail playoff wise, I can see him leaving the organization and heading into politics.
Darien is going to be won by anyone who runs for governor who is a republican. I just googled Brian Cashman republican and he went to high school with Neil Gorsuch and supported him. He isn't a big donor to the CT GOP. I really doubt Cashman is going to go into politics. I doubt he wants his divorce making news again.
