Senate Minority Leader John McKinney.

John McKinney is the only Republican running for governor who would be considered a political "insider." The current Senate Minority Leader is leaving his post in hopes of returning Connecticut's governorship to Republican control. But he has a tough primary fight ahead of him this summer after narrowly reaching the 15 percent threshold at the Republican convention.

McKinney joins us in-studio for our Where We Vote series and we take your questions.

GUEST:

  • John McKinney - Senate Minority Leader and Republican candidate for governor
