Tom Foley, Jr. in an Ad for Tom Foley

Thomas C. Foley '75 is running for governor of Connecticut…and he’s getting a bit of campaign help from his son.

Thomas C. Foley, Jr. '13 officially endorsed his father’s candidacy in a recent commercial. The video features father and son working together to repair a car engine.

Foley, a Republican, is one of twelve Harvard alumni currently running for governor across the country. He told The Crimson that he believes his status as a graduate of the College and the Business School “leaves a positive impression” on voters. Since graduating, Foley has served as a business executive and as the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland.

But one recent poll has indicated that the Connecticut governor race is “too close to call.”
