With a lighter than expected turnout, Stamford voters who ventured to the polls agreed with the rest of the state about the Democratic gubernatorial candidate choosing former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy by a more than 2-to-1 margin over Ned Lamont. However, local residents broke ranks with other Connecticut voters over the Republican candidate, overwhelmingly voting for Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele of Stamford over Tom Foley of Greenwich. Foley and Malloy will faceoff in the fall.
