HARTFORD, Conn. — Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski doubled his income in recent years while he was working as a consultant for an entity in Saudi Arabia, officials said Wednesday.
Stefanowski had repeatedly refused to name any of his clients as a consultant, saying that he was bound by strict nondisclosure agreements that prevented him from talking. But that changed Wednesday after a story by Hearst Connecticut Media about his ties to Saudi Arabia.
In a conference call and a statement to reporters, Stefanowski confirmed he works for a company called NEOM, saying that he did not work for the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which is an investor in NEOM. Stefanowski said he had visited Saudi Arabia in recent years but never lived there as he worked on a project to reduce global warming.
