HARTFORD, CT — In their third meeting over the last four days, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ned Lamont struggled to respond to criticism from Joe Ganim’s campaign regarding his wealth and a previous membership at a country club that excluded minorities.

“I resigned,” Lamont said answering a question from a woman wearing a Ganim T-shirt.

A great-grandson of J. P. Morgan’s chief executive, Lamont was a member of the Round Hill Country Club in Greenwich for 16 years until he resigned his membership is 2006 when he was running for U.S. Senate against Joe Lieberman.

“I resigned,” Lamont reiterated when the woman asked if he wanted to know what he told the New York Times back in 2006. “And I’m here to fight for each and everyone of you every day. I’ve got to convince you that I’m going to be a governor for all of our people.”
