Dannel Patrick "Dan" Malloy (born July 21, 1955) is an American politician who is the 88th and current Governor of Connecticut. A member of the Democratic Party, Malloy has served as Governor since 2011.

Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Malloy is a graduate of Boston College Law School. Malloy began his career as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York in 1980 before moving back to Stamford and entering private practice. He served on the Stamford board of finance from 1984 to 1994 before being elected Mayor of Stamford. He served four terms as mayor from December 1995 to December 2009.

Malloy ran unsuccessfully for Governor in 2006, losing the Democratic primary to John DeStefano, Jr., the Mayor of New Haven, who was defeated in the general election by incumbent Republican Governor Jodi Rell. He ran again in 2010 and comfortably won the primary, defeating Ned Lamont, the 2006 U.S. Senate nominee, by 57% to 43%.[2][3] Rell did not run for re-election and Malloy faced former United States Ambassador to Ireland Thomas C. Foley in the general election, defeating him by fewer than 6,500 votes. Malloy was sworn in on January 5, 2011.

Early life, education, and early career

Dannel Patrick Malloy was born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut, the seventh of seven sons and youngest of the eight children of Agnes (née Egan), a nurse, and William F. Malloy.[4] He is of Irish descent and was raised in the Catholic faith.[5][6]

As a child, Malloy suffered from learning disabilities and difficulties with motor coordination. He did not learn to tie his shoes until the fifth grade. Malloy eventually was diagnosed with dyslexia and learned the skills necessary to succeed academically. He does not write or type, and rarely reads from notes in public, but developed an extraordinarily useful memory.[7] He graduated magna cum laude from Boston College, where he met his wife Cathy, and later earned his law degree from Boston College Law School.[8][9]

After passing the bar exam, Malloy served as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, New York from 1980 to 1984. During his tenure as a prosecutor, Malloy tried 23 felony cases, four of them homicides, and won 22 convictions. He was subsequently a partner in the Stamford law firm of Abate and Fox from 1984-95. He served on the Stamford Board of Finance from 1983 to 1994.[10]

Mayor of Stamford

In 1995, he ran successfully for Mayor of Stamford, defeating two-term Republican incumbent Stanley Esposito. At the same time, voters approved a measure to extend the Mayor's term of office from two years to four, effective at the next election. He was re-elected in 1997, 2001 and 2005.[11]

Malloy made crime reduction a priority during his administration; Stamford is currently ranked as the 9th safest city in the United States and 3rd safest in the Northeast region[12] and for the past six years has ranked in the top 11 safest cities with populations of 100,000 or more, according to the FBI.[13] Malloy wrote a blog known as "The Blog That Works", since deleted, until mid-January 2010.

Budgeting and districting of the various fire departments throughout the city has been unstable since 2007, due to an extended legal conflict between the volunteer departments and the Malloy administration, which sought to consolidate the fire departments against the advice and wishes of the volunteer fire departments.[14]

Governor of Connecticut

Elections

2006

In 2004, Malloy was the first candidate to announce his bid for the Democratic Party nomination for Governor of Connecticut. In a major upset in Malloy’s favor, he received the convention endorsement of the Democratic Party on May 20, 2006 by one vote. Malloy lost in the primary election however against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. on August 8, 2006.

2010

On February 3, 2009, Malloy officially filed paperwork with Connecticut's State Elections Enforcement Commission to form a gubernatorial exploratory committee,[15] and subsequently announced that he did not intend to seek re-election as Mayor of Stamford.[16] On March 9, 2010, Malloy filed the required paperwork to officially run for governor.[17]

Malloy received the Democratic Party's endorsement for Governor on May 22, 2010 in a 68-32 vote over 2006 Democratic senatorial candidate Ned Lamont.[18] Connecticut's Democratic Party rules allow any candidate who received more than 15% of the vote at its nominating convention to challenge the endorsed candidate for the nomination in a primary, and Lamont announced that he would challenge Malloy in the gubernatorial primary. The primary was held on August 10, 2010. Malloy won with 58% of the vote, according to AP-reported unofficial results.[19][20][21] According to preliminary numbers, he beat Lamont 101,354 to 73,875.[19][20]

As a Democratic candidate for Governor prior to the Democratic state convention and subsequent primary, Malloy chose Nancy Wyman to be his running mate. Wyman is the only woman elected State Comptroller since the office was created in 1786. Malloy's choice was confirmed by the Democratic nominating convention on May 22, and Wyman became the official 2010 Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor when she defeated primary opponent Mary Glassman on August 10. After the primaries, candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor run together as a team on a single ticket. Thus, Malloy and Wyman were both elected on November 2, 2010.

Malloy faced Republican Thomas C. Foley, the former United States Ambassador to Ireland under President George W. Bush, in the race for governor. In the last Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll released on the morning before Election Day, Malloy trailed Foley 48% to 45%.[22]

According to The New York Times on November 3, Malloy was elected governor; they later placed Foley in the lead with no declared winner.[23] The Associated Press had at one point also placed Foley ahead by 8,424 votes because they hadn't added the votes from New Haven or Bridgeport at that time.[24] In the days following the election, there was controversy over several polling locations in Bridgeport remaining open until 10 p.m. on Election Day due to ballot shortages.[24] Foley's team looked into the events that took place in Bridgeport and determined there was insufficient evidence of enough fraud to overcome the vote deficit.[25]

2014

Malloy is up for re-election in November 2014 and on March 28, 2014 announced his intention to seek a second term.[26] Malloy may face a close race against a Republican challenger.[27]

Tenure

Malloy was sworn in as the 88th Governor of Connecticut on January 5, 2011, succeeding Republican Governor Jodi Rell.

The first task facing Malloy upon taking office was addressing a multi-billion-dollar deficit as a result of the prior state budget enacted by the Democratic super-majority-controlled legislature which Rell chose to accept without signing.[28] Malloy adopted what he called an agenda of "shared sacrifice" which was dependent on increases in various taxes, including the income tax, the gas tax, the sales tax, and the estate tax, as well as $1 billion each year in union concessions.[29] Malloy chose not to reduce aid to municipalities as part of his budget agenda,[30] although such aid would have been jeopardized if labor concessions were not reached.[31] After two months of negotiations, in May 2011, Malloy won $1.6 billion in union givebacks. The budget deal meant that, in contrast to many other states, there were no layoffs.[32] Many of Malloy's proposed tax increases were unpopular,[33] despite a statewide "listening tour" to promote the budget.[34]

In June 2011, Malloy signed a bill that decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana. Offenders pay a $150 fine for a first offense and a fine ranging from $200 to $500 for subsequent offenses. Those younger than 21 face a 60-day driver's license suspension. Paraphernalia has also been decriminalized as long as the person possesses under 1/2 an ounce of marijuana. Offenders may still be arrested for under 1/2 an ounce or a pipe if they are in a school zone and there is a mandatory minimum sentence (MMS) of 3 years. There is also an MMS of 3 years for sale to a minor.[35]

Malloy supports progressive social measures, including protections for transgender identity. Malloy praised the Transgender Rights Bill HB 6599[36] and promised he would sign it into law. It passed the legislature and he signed it on July 5, 2011.[37] The bill protects the rights of transgender residents, including the right to use public facilities of the gender a person identifies with.[38][39][40]

On September 21, 2011, Malloy issued Executive Orders 9 and 10, which would allow the Service Employees International Union to unionize day care workers subsidized through Care 4 Kids and personal care attendants under Medicaid waivers by redefining these employees as state employees for collective bargaining purposes.[41] The executive orders generated intense opposition from child care providers, personal care attendants, their employers with disabilities, the National Federation of Independent Business, and We the People of Connecticut, a constitutionalist organization.[42] Disability advocates objected to being excluded from the decision-making process, to union interference in the intimate relationship between employers and PCAs, and to the likely loss of PCA hours under a capped program; NFIB feared a "terrible precedent" in allowing other union organizing drives of small businesses by executive order through card check; and legislators viewed Malloy's actions as a violation of the state Constitution's separation of powers. Malloy responded that these workers, whom he described as being among the hardest working and lowest paid, deserved the opportunity to collectively bargain if they wished to do so.

Malloy, who has long campaigned against capital punishment,[43] signed a bill to repeal the state's death penalty on April 25, 2012. The bill is not retroactive and does not affect those currently on death row in Connecticut.[44][45]

Malloy's "centerpiece" education reform bill was unanimously passed by the Connecticut House of Representatives and signed into law in early May 2012. The bill increases funding for early childhood education and poorer school districts, creates 1,000 more preschool places, creates a kindergarten to third grade literacy pilot programme and reformed teacher tenure, tying it to performance.[46]

Also in May 2012, Malloy signed a bill that expanded voting rights in Connecticut, allowing for same-day voter registration. Other provisions to allow early voting and "no-excuse" absentee ballots will be subject to a referendum, to be held in 2014.[47] It also allows for online voter registration, beginning in 2014.[48]

At the end of May 2012, Malloy signed a bill that repealed Connecticut's ban on the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Connecticut and Indiana had previously been the only states that still had broad restrictions on the sale of alcohol on Sundays.[49]

Connecticut became the 17th state to legalize medical marijuana on June 1, 2012 after Malloy signed a bill into law. Some portions of the law were effective immediately while the remaining portions became effective on October 1, 2012.[50][51]

In response to Hurricane Sandy, Malloy partially activated the state's Emergency Operations Center on October 26, 2012[52] and signed a Declaration of Emergency the next day.[53] On October 28, President Barack Obama approved Connecticut's request for an emergency declaration, and hundreds of National Guard personnel were deployed.[54] On October 29, Malloy ordered road closures for all state highways.[55] Numerous mandatory and partial evacuations were issued in cities across Connecticut.[56] Malloy's strong initial response is credited with helping the state to avoid much of the damage that affected neighbouring New York and nearby New Jersey. Five people were killed and over 30,000 houses were destroyed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency gave the state over $283 million in the 6 months following the hurricane and in August 2013, Malloy announced that the Department of Housing and Urban Development was giving another $71.8 million.[57]

In the state's legislative elections of November 2012, Republicans tried to tie Democratic legislators to Malloy, who has consistently had faced negative job approval ratings.[58] The strategy did not work and the Democrats recorded no losses in either house. Malloy called the results a "vindication" and said that "Tough times require tough decisions that are not immediately popular... you should not be afraid to make tough decisions, particularly if you are transparent about those decisions, if you explain why those decisions were necessary. In our case, the tough decisions we had to make were in fact caused by Republican governors."[59]

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown in December 2012, Malloy pushed for strict new gun control laws. In April 2013, he signed into law a bill that required universal background checks, bans magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, creates the country's first registry for dangerous-weapon offenders and adds over 100 types of gun to the state's assault weapons ban. The bill passed the legislature with bipartisan support.[60]

On June 7, 2013, Malloy signed a bill that allows all residents of Connecticut, including illegal immigrants, to apply for a driver's license. He called it a public safety issue that "needs to be addressed". The licenses cannot be used to vote or board a plane and the bill will take effect in July 2015.[61]

Controversial Comments

Malloy has garnered national attention for his aggressive, no-nonsense approach to politicians with whom he disagrees. For instance, after New Jersey governor Chris Christie criticized Malloy's tax policies on MSNBC, Malloy went on the same program and stated, "People say things that sometimes don't make any sense. This is a debate that's more important than who's got the bigger belt. It's about policy." [62]

In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, Malloy was asked on CNN to comment on Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's opposition to FEMA. Malloy replied, "I think he's an idiot." Startled, the anchor laughed, saying, "That's blunt. That's very blunt." Malloy went on to add, "We are spending $900 million a week in wars and he is arguing about whether we should spend some amount of money? FEMA now has currently $900 million budget available to it. This is a ridiculous conversation. I really don't understand what he is talking about and I'm not sure he does."[63]

More recently, in 2014, at a National Governors' Association press conference, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal criticized President Barack Obama's advocacy of raising the federal minimum wage. Jindal stated, "What I'm worried about is that this President and the White House seem to be waving the white flag of surrender after more than five years of this administration. The Obama economy is now the minimum wage economy. I think we can do better than that, I think America can do better than that." Taking the podium immediately after Jindal's remarks, Malloy stated, "I don’t know what the heck was a reference to white flag when it comes to people making $404 a week. I mean, that’s the most insane statement I’ve ever heard, quite frankly."[64]

In reference to Malloy's aggressive nature, 2014 Connecticut gubernatorial candidate Thomas C. Foley released a campaign ad labeling Malloy "Angry Dan." The ad states, "Dan Malloy is angry. His failed policies are hurting Connecticut. But why is he taking it out on others? False attacks on Tom Foley, bullying teachers, state employees, taxpayers—Dan Malloy’s arrogance and aggression hurt people."[65] In response to this ad, Malloy spokesman Roy Occhiogrosso stated, "Dan Malloy can be aggressive and impatient, but those are traits that if channeled properly can be good things. He works hard. He’s impatient because there’s a lot of things he wants to do." [66]
