Hartford mayor candidate Eddie Perez wants to return to the office he held from 2001 until 2010, when a corruption scandal forced him to resign. (He eventually pleaded guilty to two felony charges.)
Perez now faces incumbent Mayor Luke Bronin and State Rep. Brandon McGee Jr. in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary.
After the final primary debate on Thursday (hosted by The Hartford Courant and News Channel 8), Perez spoke with Courant publisher/editor in chief Andrew Julien, senior content editor Leslie Cory and editorial writer Stephen Busemeyer, about restoring the public’s trust, his previous accomplishments in office, policing the city, and more.
The editorial board conducted a similar interview with Mayor Bronin and extended an invitation to Mr. McGee.
