Governor, congressional delegation, statehouse candidates to attend Greenwich Democrats’ picnic
Chicken, hot dogs and burgers will be on the menu as usual when Greenwich Democrats gather for their annual election-season kickoff picnic, Sunday, September 18. Many are looking forward to updates from elected representatives and candidates.
“This is a unique opportunity for everyone to hear from Connecticut’s elected officials and learn more about Democratic candidates’ positions on key issues,” said Joseph Angland, Chair of the Greenwich Democratic Town Committee.
Topping the list of expected speakers are Greenwich residents Governor Ned Lamont, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, and Congressman Jim Himes. Senator Chris Murphy is slated to appear as well.
Picnickers can also meet Democrats’ state general assembly candidates, including Trevor Crow, running for the 36th Senatorial District, Rachel Khanna, for the 149th State House District, State Representative Steve Meskers, seeking reelection for the 150th District, and Hector Arzeno, running for state representative in the 151st District.
Also at the picnic: Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, Attorney General William Tong, State Comptroller candidate Sean Scanlon, State Treasurer candidate Erick Russell, and Secretary of State candidate Stephanie Thomas. Come enjoy a late summer afternoon, good food, and help Connecticut Democrats shape sane policies, and elect smart leaders in November.
The public is invited to purchase tickets at GreenwichDemocrats.org. The event will take place noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, September 18, at the Greenwich Botanical Center, 130 Bible Street, Cos Cob.
