First-term Fair Haven Heights Alderwoman Brenda Jones Barnes has decided not to run for reelection.
The labor-backed Democrat announced her decision in a group email message Wednesday.
“For personal reasons, I must announce my intention not to seek re-election as Alderwoman for Ward 13 in the City of New Haven. I have decided to publicly announce at this time so that there is an opportunity for a prospective candidate to consider running and campaign,” she wrote.
“Serving the Fair Haven Heights community and the City of New Haven has been a privilege and an honor. Thank you for this opportunity.”
No candidates have yet filed papers to run for seat.
Was this a Local-34 backed candidate, or not?
