Former House Speaker James Amann, who has been polling poorly in his bid for governor, is expected to drop out of the race today, according to state Capitol sources.
Amann could not be reached for comment Thursday morning, but he is scheduled to make an announcement at 11 a.m. at the state Capitol.
Amann’s departure would leave only five Democrats still in the race: Greenwich cable TV entrepreneur Ned Lamont, former Stamford mayor Dannel Malloy, Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman, Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi, and former state Rep. Juan Figueroa of Meriden.
Others are still considering whether to run.
