Connecticut Working Families Party endorses 53 candidates in municipal elections across 14 municipalities
Hartford, Conn. – The Connecticut Working Families Party has endorsed 53 candidates running for local office across the state, all of whom have committed to uplift the Party’s vision of a state that meets the needs of working people – including stronger public schools, more affordable healthcare and housing, and a government that prioritizes workers over billionaires. These endorsements include candidates for offices including mayors, city councilors, and board of education members in Bridgeport, Danbury, East Lyme, Fairfield, Hamden, Hartford, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, Stonington and Windham.
“It’s well known, no matter your Party or politics, that with Washington at its worst, we need Connecticut to be at its best. For every lawmaker in Connecticut, from our school boards to our State House, taking on the hate, cruelty and division coming from Trump’s White House starts here, using the powers we have at home,” said Sarah Ganong, Connecticut State Director of the Working Families Party. “This is a time for bold leadership from every single lawmaker in Connecticut and across the country — and these candidates are the type of leaders we need. Every cycle we’ve seen how great candidates winning, and then collaborating to drive policy, delivers real results for working people — like defending immigrant neighbors and funding our public schools. These incumbent and emerging leaders are committed to delivering more wins for working families, and we’ll work hard to elect them.”
