Newington Mayor Jeff Wright won the party's endorsement overwhelmingly with 91% over hedge fund portfolio manager Andrew White of Ridgefield. Wright initially ran for governor but withdrew from the race to run for state treasurer in late March.[2] The two candidates' similar last names confused some delegates at the convention.[3]
White did not receive enough votes to qualify for a primary but went on to win the nomination of the Independent Party, making it onto the general election ballot.
