This afternoon, I received a copy of the letter from Matthew Brennan that he sent to the Secretary of State’s office announcing that he was withdrawing from the primary in his district. Audrey Blondin wrote,

I would once again like to thank Matt for all of his commitment, dedication & efforts on behalf of our party and the residents of the 30th District, and wish him all the very best for his future endeavors.

Mike Renzullo, whom Matt was challenging said,

“I want to thank Matt Brennan. By challenging me, he has made me a better candidate, and I appreciate that. I also think Matt shows his character by putting the interests of the party, and of the citizens of the 30th District, ahead of his own. I know Matt, and I’m confident he will lend his support to our campaign, and help the Democrats take this seat in November.”

Matt is a good guy and I wish him well. Now, it is time to focus on Mike’s campaign. Those of you that have been reading me regularly know that I’m very excited by Mike’s campaign. He’s a great candidate.

Until I received the emails about Matt, I was torn about whether to help with Marilyn Moore’s get out the vote efforts on primary day in Bridgeport, Trumbull and Monroe, or if I should head up to the 30th district to help out Mike.
