HARTFORD, Conn. — Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski earned $29 million during 2020 and 2021 — helping fuel his current run for governor.
Stefanowski released his federal tax returns after 11 p.m. Thursday showing total income of $15.7 million in 2020 and $13.6 million in the following year during the COVID-19 pandemic. The spike in 2020 marked a sharp uptick from the previous year of $7.38 million.
After earning $36.8 million in total income in three years, Stefanowski has now set aside $10 million to fund his current campaign — more than triple his total for the 2018 battle against Lamont that he lost by 3 percentage points. The two multimillionaire former business executives have been running numerous television commercials on a variety of channels even before the Labor Day holiday that traditionally marks the kickoff of the fall election season.
