Saturday, Kim and I attended the Caucus of Connecticut Democrats legislative and electoral committees meeting. You can get details here.

Kim is now planning to testify before the Government Administration and Elections committee public hearing on Wednesday about the importance of electoral and campaign finance reform.

We have also heard through the grapevine that Nancy DiNardo now has the votes to be elected State Chair. Many people feel that it is important to see a strong woman in this position since the leading spokesperson for the Republicans in Connecticut is also a woman. It is great to see more women in power.

The rumor going around is also that Steve Fontana will be elected Vice Chair. Steve is a State Representative and has been very active with the House Dems. In particular, we has been especially helpful with people seeking to run for office and has been supportive and welcoming of new people into the Democratic Party. His election will complement Nancy DiNardo's very nicely and help build the Democratic Party inline with some of the issues that have been discussed on this blog.
