In a letter to his supporters, Marconi explains that he has decided to end his campaign for governor and will continue to serve as the First Selectman of Ridgefield.

He will be supporting Ned Lamont and Mary Glassman.

"We have some challenging days ahead of us, but I believe that with hard work and the right leadership, they can also be great days," Marconi said in explaining his decision to support Lamont and Glassman.

"Together they represent the best of what Connecticut has to offer. Ned has decades of experience building a business from the ground up and creating hundreds of jobs here in Connecticut, while Mary has a proven record of improving education and fixing transportation as the First Selectman of Simsbury," Marconi said.
