Tuesday's primary elections, a battle in the democratic party

Twenty-three cities in Connecticut had experienced the political climate on Tuesday's
elections. In the capital city Hartford, the unofficial count states that Bronin is the

virtual winner of the democratic primary by 57.52% of votes, winning over
former mayor Eddie Perez, who fell behind with 27.39% in the ballots.
Representative Brandon McGee who fought until the last hours of the elections,
failed to reach the second place of the turnouts, obtaining only 15.9% of support
from Hartford residents.

 In his celebration, Bronin stated “I will continue my work in Hartford. We will fight

the city's deficit, and I will not allow anyone to undo our immigrant residents. ”

In Middletown, the new Democratic political figure, Ben Florsheim, won over the political veterans Bill Russo and Mary Bartolotta with 33.41% of votes in his favor. Florsheim who is twenty-eight years old comes with a progressive Democratic ideology to integrate communities and to make a positive change in Middletown. In an interview with Boceto Media, Florsheim spoke about the Hispanic community in Middletown and the segregated neighborhoods in the north end. He stated, will seek inclusion and opportunities for all. "I am of the idea that politicians have to go out to look for the people, and not the people come to look for us."

In New Haven, Justin Elieker, won the primary with 58.28% to the political longevity of
Tony Harp, who wanted a fourth term as mayor of this city. However, Elieker brings sharp
proposals to combat homelessness, improve education, and to negotiate with millionaire
entities such as Yale university to pay fair taxes for the city. Among his plans are to protect
immigrants and to create more job opportunities for all. Elieker gained popularity, thanks to
an advertising spot, where he appears with his daughter at the school bus stop.
New haven residents identified themselves with the candidate and gave him their vote of
confidence thanks to the ad strategy.

Today, a press release sent by Elieker’s campaign manager says that he will

meet with Governor Lamont, Vice Governor Susan Bysiewicz and lawmakers

in New Haven tomorrow to unify the Democratic alliances in that city.

Although many people lived the political eagerness on yesterday’s elections,

only 20% of more than over 44 thousand registered voters in Connecticut went
out to vote. These actions caught the attention of many experts and invoked citizens
to exercise their right to vote to achieve adequate changes in the state.

The virtual results mentioned are updates until 4:30 pm on 9/11/19; official

results are expected to be determined through the course of the week.
