1994 Connecticut gubernatorial election

The 1994 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1994, to elect the governor of Connecticut. Republican John G. Rowland won the open seat following the retirement of A Connecticut Party Governor Lowell Weicker. The election was a four-way race between A Connecticut Party Lieutenant Governor Eunice Groark, Republican U.S. Congressman John G. Rowland, Democratic state comptroller Bill Curry, and independent conservative talk show host Tom Scott. Rowland won the election with just 36% of the vote.

As a result of Public Act 93-342, which was passed by the General Assembly in 1993, the threshold of delegate support a candidate required at a nominating convention in order to force a primary was reduced from 20% to 15%, making this the first election held under these new laws.
