A member of the Democratic Party, Malloy has served as Governor since 2011. Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Malloy is a graduate of Boston College Law School. Malloy began his career as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York in 1980 before moving back to Stamford and entering private practice. He served on the Stamford board of finance from 1984 to 1994 before being elected Mayor of Stamford. He served four terms as mayor from December 1995 to December 2009. Malloy ran unsuccessfully for Governor in 2006, losing the Democratic primary to John DeStefano, Jr., the Mayor of New Haven, who was defeated in the general election by incumbent Republican Governor Jodi Rell. He ran again in 2010 and comfortably won the primary, defeating Ned Lamont, the 2006 U.S. Senate nominee, by 57% to 43%.〔(''Hartford Courant'' report on endorsements for Malloy )〕〔("The New York Times" Lamont Loses Connecticut Primary for Governor )〕 Rell did not run for re-election and Malloy faced former United States Ambassador to Ireland Thomas C. Foley in the general election, defeating him by fewer than 6,500 votes. Malloy was sworn in on January 5, 2011. ==Early life, education, and early career== Dannel Patrick Malloy was born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut, the seventh of seven sons and youngest of the eight children of Agnes Veronica (née Egan), a nurse, and William Francis Malloy.〔http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/a/l/William-F-Malloy/FILE/0001text.txt〕 He is of Irish descent and was raised in the Catholic faith.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish eyes were smiling at Governor-elect Malloy in Stamford reception )〕 As a child, Malloy suffered from learning disabilities and difficulties with motor coordination.

He does not write or type, and rarely reads from notes in public, but developed an extraordinarily useful memory. He graduated ''magna cum laude'' from Boston College, where he met his wife Cathy, and later earned his law degree from Boston College Law School. After passing the bar exam, Malloy served as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, New York from 1980 to 1984.
