There's an interesting Democratic primary for lieutenant governor in Connecticut. Susan Bysiewicz ran for governor in 2006 (dropped out), governor in 2010 (dropped out), attorney general in 2010 (disqualified), U.S. Senate in 2012 (lost primary) and governor in 2018 (dropped out). This year, she’s running for lieutenant governor. (Lots of people have criticized her for her ambition, although I wonder how much of that is because of her gender. If a man said his childhood dream was to be governor of Connecticut, wouldn’t we find that precocious?) But first she’ll have to get through Eva Bermudez Zimmerman, who is the face of the new Democratic Party: a devout progressive union organizer, all of 30 years old, who would be Connecticut’s first Latina statewide official. With 60 percent reporting, the familiar (Bysiewicz) is beating the new (Bermudez Zimmerman) 64 percent to 36 percent.
