Why am I running?
I am running for the US Senate because Connecticut deserves a Senator who will stand up to the Bush administration, whose policies are so harmful to our state and our country. Connecticut deserves a Senator who will turn back judicial appointees outside of the mainstream, who will fight for affordable universal health care, and who will challenge the status quo in Washington DC.
Current Campaign News:
Six weeks ago, I issued a challenge to the people of Connecticut: If you agree with my vision, sign up to volunteer.
I asked for 1,000 of you to sign up and more than 1,500 from Connecticut have already done so, with more joining every day. You are volunteering, donating, and sharing your thoughts and talent and ideas.
Ours will be a grassroots campaign. We will be going door to door, person to person, to find people who share our vision - that it is time for change in Washington DC.
I am proud to formally announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate from Connecticut. I welcome the challenge and debate to come and thank you for your support.

Since I said I was willing to challenge Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary, we've been overwhelmed with notes of encouragement and people signing up on NedLamont.com. I've been traveling around the state too, listening to voters, and finding an outpouring of intense frustration with many of Senator Lieberman's votes. Democrats, Independents and even many Republicans desperately want a Senator who will stand up to the President's wrong-headed fiscal, judicial and foreign policy choices.
But, it will take an unprecedented grassroots movement in Connecticut, and unprecedented support from Americans everywhere, to beat an entrenched and well-funded incumbent like Joe Lieberman.
Our campaign cannot succeed without your financial support!
