Jarjura Running for “Controller”–Means Comptroller, I think.

Waterbury Mayor Michael Jarjura has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for state comptroller. The five term mayor declared, ““The fiscal and structural problems that Connecticut faces are nearly identical to what I faced when first assuming the Mayor’s office in Waterbury,” said Jarjura. “I look forward to the opportunity to work on righting Connecticut’s financial ship and bringing the same best practices to Hartford that served taxpayers in Waterbury so well.”

A week before the Democratic convention convenes, Jarjura joins state Representative Tom Reynolds and health insurance advocate Kevin Lembo in the race for the office vacated by incumbent Nancy Wyman, who is seeking the party nomination for lieutenant governor.
