Please vote Bumgardner in Groton City, he’s a ‘phenomenal listener’

-

I write in support of my friend, Aundré Bumgardner, who is running for mayor of Groton City. Aundré and I worked together through the transition of the Connecticu­t Treasury from one administra­tion to another in 2019. Aundré was not only instrument­al in policy design and implementa­tion, but he was always focused on making complicate­d financial issues relevant and understand­able for everyone. He is smart, engaging, hardworkin­g and humble. I admire his tenacity and I respect him very much.

Aundré has been out working hard and knocking on doors all spring. He is a phenomenal listener. He brings people together and offers real solutions. I look at this race as an exciting opportunit­y for Groton to hold up and celebrate a young, smart, capable, empathetic person of color. Doing so should be considered an honor for all of us.

Please vote Aundré on May 3. Emily Bjornberg
