"Bridgeport Democrat John Gomes announced Wednesday he is not dropping his campaign for mayor, a decision that will lead to the city’s fourth municipal election in the past six months.
Gomes already lost three matchups against Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim, including a special court-ordered primary on Jan. 23 that the incumbent won by more than 1,000 votes.
Those results, however, have not deterred Gomes, who successfully challenged the results of last year’s Democratic mayoral primary after video evidence allegedly captured Ganim supporters and local Democratic Party leaders illegally dumping absentee ballots into drop boxes throughout the city." |
