Robin Comey Qualifies for Citizen Financing in 102nd District

BRANFORD, CT - Robin Comey, Democratic candidate for State Representative from the 102nd District, has met the fundraising goal required to become eligible for the Citizens’ Election Program in small dollar donations. As a result, she is eligible for an $25,000 grant to her campaign from the State Elections Enforcement Commission.

"I am excited to have received donations from a wide variety of Branford residents, many of who told me it was their first time donating to a local campaign. I am particularly proud that there were many others who reached across party lines to show their support,” said Comey. “The relationships I have and the trust I’ve built with Branford voters is reflected in the unification behind my candidacy."

Comey is a resident of Short Beach and currently serves on the RTM representing the 3rd district, owns and operates a small business, and serves as the Executive Director of Branford Early Childhood Collaborative.

Last week, Comey won the three-way race for endorsement from the Branford Democratic Party by securing the majority of votes of those members present at the special meeting.

She is endorsed by Representative Lonnie Reed, who currently holds the 102nd district seat for Branford, and is not running for re-election.

Branford Board of Finance and former RTM member Robert Imperato has been endorsed by the Republicans to run for the seat.
