BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WTNH)– Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim is filing the papers Friday to become the latest Democrat seeking the nomination for Governor.
Ganim, who served seven years in federal prison for corruption while in office, made a remarkable comeback in the Bridgeport municipal election in November of 2015.
The Bridgeport mayor has asked the State Elections Enforcement Commission for a decision on whether or not he can qualify for public financing. The public financing law appears to forbid public funding for those convicted of corruption.
The agency is expected to rule on his request sometime next month.
Awesome
Sounds perfectly qualified to be a Democrat politician.
He talked about that before going to jail. The funny thing is, he really WOULD be an upgrade over Malloy.
Nutmeggers will be pleased beyond words!
Jim Jones should be governor of CT, since the populace seems intent on mass suicide. At least he could facilitate the process.

Here in Massachusetts, doing a federal stretch is a political resume enhancement.
Besides, how much worse can he be than who they have as governor now?
