2014 Connecticut Governor's race: on Free Trade


Dan Malloy: Trade trips to China to promote aerospace & bioscience

Malloy plays off his two immediate predecessors, Jodi Rell and John Rowland, who governed for 16 of the 22 years when Connecticut was one of two states with no net job growth, the other being Michigan. He uses the past as a baseline, a point of comparison to find statistical signs of progress today.

"We have needed to reposition ourselves for two decades," Malloy said. "This has to be seen as an overall vision about how you get a state going that has been unwilling to get going for so long. I don't have any doubt the efforts we're making will pay dividends and are paying dividends."

Malloy mentions trade trips to China to promote the state's aerospace industry and its bioscience initiatives on the Farmington campus of the University of Connecticut Health Center.
