Basically, this woman who just won her primary runs a red light, hits a car injuring the woman driving the car, and takes off

A witness to the accident followed the candidate so he could get info for the police. The candidate said she was fearful of the witness so that's why she took off.

But, for Connecticut Democrats, things like this are almost a requirement. She'll fit right in representing Bridgeport

In a deep blue state like CT, this will be a resume enhancement.

Good start by the mom in diffusing the crisis.
Daughter is hurt.
Can’t criticize a hurt person, nor can a hurt person offer an explanation.

So far, so good.

Next step is to get a neckbrace, I’d try Hyannisport if you don’t have one lying around.

Finally, follow the three “D”’s.
-Deny
-Don’t recall
-Don’t worry, because Conn. Dems will still vote for you.

Just for a little political background info: The particular state house district Ayala is running for (the 128th) is central Bridgeport. The outgoing rep for that district is Andres Ayala, Jr. who apparently is running for a state Senate seat this time. Don’t know if he is related to the Ayala involved in the crash or not, though.

Witnesses say Ayala ran a red light and hit the front of Velez's car.

Qualified to be elected in CT...
