Democrat Ned Lamont is finally going up on the air with his first television commercial – which will start airing around the state on Friday.
The commercial begins by reminding voters that Lamont battled U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman in the 2006 primary and then segues into Lamont’s business career that began with his founding of a company called Lamont Television Systems. The operation has changed names through the years and is now known as Lamont Digital.
“I’m a business guy,” Lamont says in the 60-second commercial. “I know that it’s business people that create jobs.”

Lamont has been leading former Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy in the past three Quinnipiac University polls in the Democratic race for governor. Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman, Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi, and former state Rep. Juan Figueroa of Meriden are trailing the two front-runners in the poll.
