Hartford Mayor Continues Reelection Campaign as Part of Slate

Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra announced Wednesday that he will continue his campaign for reelection as part of a slate that includes six candidates for city council.

Other members of the slate include Hartford City Council candidates Ken Kennedy, Kyle Anderson, Giselle Feliciano, James Woulfe, Luwannia Johnson Martin and Edward Casares Jr.

Kennedy and Anderson are current councilmembers and Casares is a former fire chief in Hartford. Feliciano serves as executive assistant to council, according to Segarra's campaign.

Segarra's campaign said the candidates, like the mayor himself, are petitioning for spots on the ballot during September's primary election.

The mayor said during Wednesday's announcement the city of Hartford belongs to the people and that the election will be decided by the general population rather than a select few. He said city residents want to elect his team.

According to his campaign, Segarra decided to join the slate after Monday's nominating convention. The mayor walked out of the convention and the Democratic Party endorsed challenger Luke Bronin.
