Majority Leader To Emphasize Downtown Development, Education Aid And Infrastructure in Re-Election Bid
A party to benefit the re-election campaign of City Council Majority Leader Michael Trueworthy will be held Thursday, August 23rd, 5-7 p.m. at the home of State Central Committeeman Ned Statchen and Liz Fitzsimmons, 196 South Mountain Street, New Britain.
Councillor At Large Trueworthy previously served as a City Councillor from Ward 2 and Chair of the Board of Assessment Appeal. Trueworthy is seeking a second term at large on the 15-member city council of which 12 members are Democrats. As majority leader Trueworthy points to his efforts to expand the Senior Property Tax exemption program -- a measure opposed by the Stewart administration and successful efforts enacting an ordinance which gives the City much more of an enforcement mechanism to go after absentee landlords and those who don’t maintain their investment properties.
Trueworthy is emphasizing several issues on the campaign trail including downtown re-development, improvement of customer service at City Hall, more equity in state education aid, infrastructure improvements and improvements to neighborhood parks.
Three months before the November 6th municipal election voter enrollment in New Britain totaled 29,764 at the end of July with Democrats accounting for 52.45% of the electorate at 15,614. Unaffiliated voters totaled 10,363 (34.8) and Republicans, 3,600 (12.05).
