Decision 2014: The Candidates Speak

In this week's episode of Decision 2014, NBC Connecticut wraps its arms around the race for governor as it approaches seven weeks until election day.

Political Reporter Max Reiss interviews Gov. Dan Malloy who acknowledges that his bid for reelection is the"political fight of his life." Gov. Malloy talks about his record on taxes and jobs and even pledges to keep tax rates flat if he's reelected to the job he's held since January 2011. The governor proclaims that the race in 2014 "is about choices" and the "future of Connecticut."

Republican candidate Tom Foley, who's running for the state's highest office for the second time, says he has the plan for Connecticut to emerge from the economic doldrums. Foley pledges to work to trim the state's sales tax rate, in addition to working to cut several business taxes. Foley even says he would work to eliminate some taxes that cost more to collect than they actually provide in revenue.

In a preview for Sunday's edition of Meet the Press, Anchor Gerry Brooks discusses Connecticut's campaign season with NBC's Moderator of the Meet the Press Chuck Todd.
