Connecticut Democrat, Who Served 7 Years in Prison for Corruption, Wins Mayoral Primary
Frank BergmanSeptember 13, 2023 - 4:20 pm3 Comments


A Connecticut Democrat, who went to prison for corruption, has won his mayoral primary to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination for another term.

After his release from prison, Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim regained his old job in a remarkable political comeback eight years ago.

63-year-old Ganim defeated John Gomes, the city’s former chief administrative officer, by a narrow margin Tuesday in a party primary.

Gomes declined to concede and could possibly run again in the general election.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is why, while the cheating and corruption disturbs me, the reality is no cheating is going to help you in a 2-to-1 blowout.

Why do Rats vote for convicted crooks on a regular basis? This is why I have zero sympathy when it comes back to bite them.

Ask Lyndon Johnson. Remember his famous quotation?
