Gomes’ Opens Campaign Headquarters
BRIDGEPORT, CT – On a frigid Saturday morning, Bridgeport Mayoral candidate John Gomes, joined by his campaign team and a crowd of over one-hundred supporters formally opened the Gomes campaign headquarters located at 2196 East Main Street in Bridgeport.
After introducing, recognizing, and thanking local elected officials and supporters who braved the record cold temperatures to celebrate the opening of campaign headquarters, Gomes' speech touched on many issues unaddressed by the current administration.
Public safety is of great concern with the police staffing levels down 130 officers with approximately 30 more retirements occurring at the end of the month.
Affordability being another issue as Bridgeport needs to become more competitive with neighboring towns and cities having lower tax rates.
Lastly, Gomes stressed the importance of having an open, accountable, and transparent government that residents and business owners can trust. Significant investment in Bridgeport cannot take place until entrepreneurs and families know where and how their tax dollars are spent. Gomes concluded his remarks stating, "I want all of us to make a Bridgeport that we will be proud to call home again."
The opening of campaign headquarters comes one month following raising over $100,000 in four weeks to close out the 4th Quarter of fundraising. Since his December 1, 2023 announcement, John Gomes continues to raise funds towards his grassroots movement. The first in-person campaign fundraiser is scheduled for March 9th. Event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
