U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Cong. Elizabeth Esty (D-5) urged New Britain voters to support the candidacy of Democrat Merrill Gay for Mayor in the 2017 municipal election on Sunday, June 11th.

A backyard picnic of 100 supporters, candidates and friends at the home of State Rep. Peter Tercyak (D-26) and Pat Rehmer helped boost Gay, a Board of Education member, just over a month before the Democratic Town Committee makes its endorsements for city offices.

Murphy and Esty stressed the importance of supporting Gay and other Democratic municipal candidates this year to defeat the Trump-Republican agenda in Washington and Hartford in 2018.
