The New Britain Black Political Action Committee will host a conversation with the two Democratic Mayoral candidates in an online event.

The New Britain Black Political Action Committee is chaired by revered community leader, Mr. Alton Brooks. Event organizers say that the conversation with the candidates is, “to assist you with being a wise, informed voter as you go to the polls.”

The conversation hosted by the Committee will be held on Thursday, September 9, 2021, starting at 7:30pm.

The New Britain Black Political Action Committee is to host a conversation with Mayoral candidate, Rep. Bobby Sanchez (D-25), at 7:30pm and then political activist and Mayoral candidate Alicia Hernandez Strong at 8:00pm.

The Committee says that, “There will be an opportunity to ask a few questions from each candidate at the end of each segment.”

The event is to be on Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/7365411400?pwd=TGZOVlJHd1ZUYzlwRXM3czhNKzZIQT09. The meeting ID is 736 541 1400, passcode 2006. The one tap mobile number is +16465588656.

The Committee urges people, “to join in this effort to ensure the Black community voices are heard collectively by the invited candidates.”

Rep. Sanchez won the endorsement of the New Britain Democratic Party’s Town Committee on July 26th, but Strong collected petition signatures to qualify for a September 14, 2021 primary in which everyday Democratic voters decide their nominee for Mayor.
