Gomes' Slate Submits over 3,250 Signatures for September Primary
BRIDGEPORT, CT – Today, John Gomes announced that he and members of his slate have submitted over 3,250 signatures to the Bridgeport Democratic Registrar of Voters. Roughly 2,100 verified signatures of registered Bridgeport Democtrats on Primary Petitions are needed to be submitted by Wednesday, August 9th to qualify for the September 12th Democratic Primary.
Gomes stated, "I want to thank all the members of the slate and campaign volunteers for their hard work in the last two weeks. I would also like to thank all the signers of Petition forms who desire change in the current leadership of Bridgeport."
"Everyday, more people continue to join our growing cause for change. We have raised awareness on quality of life issues in the city including underutilized properties, accessibility of amenities for residents, the condition of the former Harding High School, and the city government backlog of freedom of information requests. We have released public policy briefs on economic development, education, public safety, and good government, and have made radio appearances on Melissa in the Morning, the Lisa Wexler Show. More Bridgeporters are joining the initiative to elect a mayor for all people. "
Gomes concluded, "On December 1, 2022 our movement for change in Bridgeport began. We were the first campaign to open a headquarters in February, and the first campaign to begin canvassing in May. We are grateful for the overwhelming support from residents, local business owners, community members, friends, family, neighbors who seek a "hands on" leader who represents all of them. The community is ready for a change in leadership and we will deliver on September 12th and November 7th."
