DescriptionDANBURY -- Mayor Mark Boughton said Monday he's made his decision about running for governor, but he won't announce his intentions until February.

"A decision has been made, and you will be hearing about it shortly, one way or the other," he said.

The Danbury Republican, who just began his fifth two-year term as mayor, said he would meet with The News-Times editorial board to discuss his decision and would make a formal announcement in the first week of February.

Whether Boughton will run for the state's top elected office has been the topic of speculation for weeks, ever since GOP Gov. M. Jodi Rell, of Brookfield, announced she will not seek re-election.

Last month, Boughton said he was "exploring" the possibility and meeting with area Republican town committees.
