SHELTON — As Republican gubernatorial hopeful Mark Lauretti marched the streets of Shelton, where he has been mayor for the past 27 years, local support for the petitioning candidate was evident. “Governor Lauretti! The next governor!” flag-spangled Shelton and Derby residents called out to the mayor as he walked in the towns’ Memorial Day parade Monday. But Lauretti admitted Monday that the race for governor hasn’t been going his way recently. After winning only 11 percent of delegates’ support at the Republican State Convention earlier this month, Lauretti must collect signatures from about 9,100 registered Republicans before June 12 to earn a spot on the August primary ballot.
