On the Republican side of the governor's race, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton's campaign filed for a pre-application review with the State Elections Enforcement Commission. That paves the way for a review of campaigns participating in the Citizens' Election Program, prior to the formal application process, which takes place after the May nominating convention. Boughton has raised $283,555. A minimum of $262,500 in qualifying contributions is required to participate in the pre-application review process.
