Early life, education and early career

edit

Dannel Patrick Malloy was born and raised inStamford, Connecticut,the seventh of seven sons and youngest of the eight children of Agnes Veronica (née Egan), a nurse, and William Francis Malloy.[6][7]He is of Irish descent and was raised as aCatholic.[8][9]

As a child, Malloy hadlearning disabilitiesand difficulties withmotor coordination.He did not learn to tie his shoes until the fifth grade. Malloy eventually was diagnosed withdyslexia[10][11]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.[12]He graduatedmagna cum laudefromBoston College,where he met his wife Cathy, and later earned hisJ.D.degree fromBoston College Law School.[13][11]

After passing thebar exam,Malloy served as anAssistant District AttorneyinBrooklyn, New Yorkfrom 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 to 1995. He served on the Stamford Board of Finance from 1983 to 1994.[14]

Mayor of Stamford (1995–2009)

edit

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.[15]

Malloy made crime reduction a priority during his tenure as mayor; Stamford saw a dramatic decrease in homicides under his administration. Stamford is currently ranked as the 9th safest city in the United States and 3rd safest in the Northeast region[16]and for the past six years has ranked in the top 11 safest cities with populations of 100,000 or more, according to theFBI.[17]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.[18]

Governor of Connecticut (2011–2019)

edit

Elections

edit

2006

edit

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 againstNew Haven MayorJohn DeStefano, Jr.on August 8, 2006.

2010

edit

On February 3, 2009, Malloy officially filed paperwork with Connecticut's State Elections Enforcement Commission to form a gubernatorial exploratory committee,[19]and subsequently announced that he did not intend to seek re-election as Mayor of Stamford.[20]On March 9, 2010, Malloy filed the required paperwork to officiallyrun for governor.[21]

Malloy received the Democratic Party's endorsement for governor on May 22, 2010, in a 68–32 vote over 2006 Democratic senatorial candidateNed Lamont.[1]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 toAP-reported unofficial results.[22][23][24]According to preliminary numbers, he beat Lamont 101,354 to 73,875.[22][23]

As a Democratic candidate for governor prior to the Democratic state convention and subsequent primary, Malloy choseNancy Wymanto be his running mate. Wyman is the only woman electedState Comptrollersince 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 facedRepublicanThomas C. Foley,the formerUnited States Ambassador to Irelandunder PresidentGeorge W. Bush,in the race for governor. Tom Foley had never been elected to public office. In the lastQuinnipiac University Polling Institutepoll released on the morning beforeElection Day,Malloy trailed Foley 48% to 45%.[25]

According toThe New York Timeson November 3, Malloy was elected governor; they later placed Foley in the lead with no declared winner.[26]TheAssociated Presshad at one point also placed Foley ahead by 8,424 votes because they hadn't added the votes fromNew HavenorBridgeportat that time.[27]In the days following the election, there was controversy overseveral polling locations in Bridgeportremaining open until 10 p.m. on Election Day due to ballot shortages.[27]Foley's team looked into the events that took place inBridgeportand determined there was insufficient evidence of enough fraud to overcome the vote deficit.[28]

2014

edit

On March 28, 2014, Malloy announced his intention to seek a second term.[29]With full support, he was unopposed in the Democratic primary. On August 12,Tom Foley,Malloy's Republican opponent in 2010, won his party's nomination,[30]making the 2014 election a rematch of the bitter 2010 contest. As expected, the race was very close. On November 4, Malloy won reelection with 51.1 percent of the vote.[31][32][33]Foley conceded the election on November 5 without direct communication with Malloy.[34]

Tenure

edit
Dan Malloy taking the oath of office, January 2011

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

In the state's legislative elections of November 2012, Republicans tried to tie Democratic legislators to Malloy, who had consistently faced negative job approval ratings.[35]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."[36]

According to a July 2016New York Timessurvey, Malloy was the most unpopular Democratic governor in the country, with a 64% disapproval and 29% approval rating, and the second-most unpopular overall, afterRepublicanSam BrownbackofKansas.[37]

Economy

edit

The first task facing Malloy upon taking office was addressing a multibillion-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.[38]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.[39]Malloy chose not to reduce aid to municipalities as part of his budget agenda,[40]although such aid would have been jeopardized if labor concessions were not reached.[41]After two months of negotiations, in May 2011, Malloy won $1.6 billion in uniongivebacks.The budget deal meant that, in contrast to many other states, there were no layoffs.[42]Many of Malloy's proposed tax increases were unpopular,[43]despite a statewide "listening tour" to promote the budget.[44]

Marijuana

edit

In June 2011, Malloy signed a bill thatdecriminalized 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 amandatory minimum sentence(MMS) of 3 years. There is also an MMS of 3 years for sale to a minor.[45]

Connecticut became the 17th state tolegalize medical marijuanaon 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.[46][47]

In December 2016, Malloy publicly stated that he opposed the legalization of recreational marijuana inConnecticutand that he would not support legislative efforts at legalization.[48]

LGBT equality

edit

Malloy supports progressive social measures, including protections for transgender identity. Malloy praised the Transgender Rights Bill HB 6599[49]and promised he would sign it into law. It passed the legislature and he signed it on July 5, 2011.[50]The bill protects the rights of transgender residents, including the right to use public facilities of the gender a person identifies with.[51][52][53]

Labor laws

edit

On September 21, 2011, Malloy issued Executive Orders 9 and 10, which would allow theService Employees International Unionto unionize day care workers subsidized through Care 4 Kids andpersonal care attendantsunder Medicaid waivers by redefining these employees as state employees forcollective bargainingpurposes.[54]The executive orders generated intense opposition from child care providers, personal care attendants, their employers with disabilities, theNational Federation of Independent Business,and We the People of Connecticut, a constitutionalist organization.[55]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 throughcard check;and legislators viewed Malloy's actions as a violation of the state Constitution'sseparation 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.

Criminal justice

edit

Malloy, who has long campaigned againstcapital punishment,[56]signed a bill to repealthe state's death penaltyon April 25, 2012. The bill was not retroactive and did not affect those on death row in Connecticut at the time.[57][58]On August 13, 2015, however, theConnecticut Supreme Courtruled in 2015 inState v. Santiagothat the legislature's decision to prospectively abolish capital punishment rendered it an offense to "evolving standards of decency," thus commuting the sentences of the 11 men remaining on death row to life in prison without parole.[59]Malloy was in the process of having Connecticut be the first state in the nation to raise the age of being within the juvenile system from 18 to 21 via the Second Chance initiative.[60][needs update]

Education

edit

Malloy's "centerpiece" education reform bill was unanimously passed by theConnecticut House of Representativesand 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 program and reformed teacher tenure, tying it to performance.[61]

Voting

edit

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.[62]It also allows for online voter registration, beginning in 2014.[63]

Gun laws

edit

In the wake of theSandy Hook Elementary School shootinginNewtownin December 2012, Malloy pushed for strict newgun control laws.In April 2013, he signed into law a bill that passed the legislature with bipartisan support and requireduniversal background checks,bannedmagazineswith a capacity of more than 10 rounds, created the country's first registry for dangerous-weapon offenders and added over 100 types of gun to the state'sassault weaponsban.[64]

In December 2015, Malloy announced he would issue an executive order to prohibit anyone on federal terrorist watchlists (such as theNo Fly List) from obtaining the permits required to acquire firearms in Connecticut.[65]The executive order would also revoke existing permits for people on such lists.[66]

Immigration laws

edit

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 took effect in July 2015.[67]

Other issues

edit

At the end of May 2012, Malloy signed a bill that repealed Connecticut'sban on the sale of alcohol on Sundays.Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana and Minnesota had previously been the only states that still had broad restrictions on the sale of alcohol on Sundays.[68]

In response toHurricane Sandy,Malloy partially activated the state's Emergency Operations Center on October 26, 2012[69]and signed a Declaration of Emergency the next day.[70]On October 28, PresidentBarack Obamaapproved Connecticut's request for an emergency declaration, and hundreds ofNational Guardpersonnel were deployed.[71]On October 29, Malloy ordered road closures for all state highways.[72]Numerous mandatory and partial evacuations were issued in cities across Connecticut.[73]Malloy's strong initial response is credited with helping the state to avoid much of the damage that affected neighbouringNew York Cityand nearbyNew Jersey.Five people were killed and over 30,000 houses were destroyed. TheFederal Emergency Management Agencygave the state over $283 million in the 6 months following the hurricane and in August 2013, Malloy announced that theDepartment of Housing and Urban Developmentwas giving another $71.8 million.[74]

Chancellor of University of Maine System

edit

Malloy was unanimously chosen by theUniversity of Maine SystemBoard of Trustees to be itsChancelloron May 30, 2019, with his service beginning on July 1.[75]Under Malloy's leadership, since 2021, three of the eight University of Maine System campus presidents have resigned (University of Maine at Augusta,[76]University of Maine at Farmington,[77]and University of Southern Maine[78]). In 2022, Malloy withheld information on a prior campus faculty vote of "No Confidence"for the replacement president hired at University of Maine Augusta,[79]and presided over the layoff of nine tenure-rank faculty positions at University of Maine at Farmington.[80]Subsequently, the faculty senates of University of Maine at Augusta and University of Southern Maine voted "No Confidence" in Malloy and called for his resignation,[81]and the students of University of Maine at Farmington held a "sit in"and also called for Malloy's resignation as Chancellor.[80]
