Alarming new data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis once again highlights the disastrous results of Ned Lamont’s policies as Connecticut’s economy shrank from April to June.

Connecticut’s real GDP shrank by 4.7% annualized in Q2, the second worst in the nation, far outpacing the national -0.6%. Even worse, wage growth in Connecticut was dead last among states, growing only 2.2% compared to the national average of 5.8%.

When combined with record inflation brought on by Lamont’s buddy Joe Biden, wages are shrinking at rapid rates, making it even more difficult for families to get by.

“Month after month data shows that Ned Lamont’s liberal policies are destroying the state’s economy and making it nearly impossible for families to get by, leaving them no choice but to move out of state,” said RGA Spokesman Chris Gustafson. “Combined with the spike in violent crime and gas prices on the rise again, Lamont’s complete mishandling of the economy is just the latest example of why he’s unfit to be governor. Bob Stefanowski will lead Connecticut forward and repair the ongoing damage caused by Lamont.”
