Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific claim about the duration of Governor Lamont's time in office, which can be verified against election and inauguration records.
What we foundLamont has been in office since January 9, 2019 — about 7 years and 9 months as of October 2026 — making the claim of 'eight years' a modest overstatement.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: Lamont took office in January 2019, so "the last eight years" is a rounded but accurate description. The evidence is unchanged.
