Armentano Democratic Party (United States) Samuel J. Tedesco Democratic Party (United States) The 1962 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1962. Mayor of Bridgeport Democrat Samuel J. Tedesco defeated former Connecticut State Treasurer Republican nominee Joseph A. Adorno with 53.4% of the vote. On, January 21, 1961, Governor Abraham Ribicoff resigned to become a member of President John F. Kennedy's cabinet. His lieutenant, John N. Dempsey, succeeded him as governor. According to Connecticut law, the President pro tempore of the Senate, at the time of which was Anthony J. Armentano, would automatically assume the office of lieutenant governor once vacant. Armentano chose not to seek election to a full term. This would be the last election in which the lieutenant governor and governor ran separately, as on the same day, Connecticut voters overwhelmingly approved of a constitutional amendment forcing the governor and lieutenant governor to run on the same ticket.https://electionhistory.ct.gov/eng/ballot_questions/view/14947/ Constitutional Amendment Concerning Election of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor Connecticut Secretary of Statehttps://books.google.com/books?id=d05HAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA5&dq=governor+Lieutenant+separately+elect+connecticut&article_id=2161,915323&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwigu6PzkcCOAxU0FlkFHXmBAjwQ6AF6BAgKEAM#v=onepage&q=governor%20Lieutenant%20separately%20elect%20connecticut&f=false All Five Constitutional Amendments Win November 7, 1962 Meriden Record General election Candidates Democratic: Samuel J.
