Where To Vote, & Who’s Running

Posted to: Campaign 2011
Polls open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday for New Haven’s Democratic Party primaries. Voters in all 30 city wards can vote in the mayoral primary, which pits incumbent Mayor John DeStefano against challengers Anthony Dawson, Clifton Graves, and Jeffrey Kerekes. In addition, voters in 16 wards can cast ballots in contests for aldermanic nominations.
Following is a list of polling places; and the names of candidates running for alderman. For background on the candidates, search the Independent site by their last names and/or click on the hyperlinks highlighted in blue in the list below. A (U) after a candidate’s name means he or she is running on the slate assembled by Yale’s unions (and in most cases also backed by municipal unions). A (P) means the candidate is running in concert with the party establishment and DeStefano campaign. (It doesn’t necessarily mean the party officially endorsed the candidate; party leaders and the mayor’s team are opposing some candidates, such as in Wards 28 and 30, who received the party’s official endorsement.)
Two wards have two polling places each. Wards without candidates listed have only the mayoral primary on the ballot, no aldermanic races.
If you’re not sure what ward you live in, or which polling place is yours, click here to find out.

Interesting,
So anyone who thinks that a couple of thousand people should dictate the level of their own salary to the other 135,000 people who pay it,... please do vote the unions into control of the BOA tomorrow.

How about a list of all the aldermanic races that are scheduled for “do-overs” in November? That way we can know which of these aldermanic contests to treat like straw polls?
[The list of candidates who have earned independent slots on the November ballot can be found in this story: http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/surprise/ }

And why no biographies of all the candidates, including the mayoral ones? Or, if I just missed them, where should I have been looking?

Why should union money go to back political candidates?? I believe this is a violation. I used to work at Yale University and not joining the union is basically not an option. You are almost made to join and your dues are collected whether you are a member or not. There are certain candidates that I do not support. How is it fair that my union dues go to support candidates that I do not??? This should not be allowed.
