Independent Senate Candidate

Manuel Bataguas has gotten the required 150 signatures needed to get his name on the State Senate ballot this November. You can read it here.

Bataguas tried to get the Democratic nomination, but failed and did not decide to pursue their endorsement. He is now going to appear on the ballot most likely as an independent.

The 24th Senate seat has become very interesting. The Democrats are in the middle of a primary battle between Councilman Duane Perkins, who got the nomination, and Danbury resident Terry Tierney. It will take place on August 12th. The winner of that will face Bataguas and Republican Mike McLachlan.

I will have more detailed analysis on the primary and Senate races in general, as well as the local House races within the coming weeks.
