"This campaign is all about Connecticut–every town, every neighborhood, every family–and how we're working hard to build a better future for everyone," Lamont said in a statement. "We're opening field offices because democracy works best when people connect face to face. We'll be working day and night to reach out to voters to listen to their concerns and share our vision for a stronger, safer, more affordable Connecticut together. The momentum is real, and it's growing every day. If you believe in where we're headed, come be a part of it. Let's keep moving Connecticut forward."
