Candidate Meet & Greet Set For North Haven State Legislative Candidates

NORTH HAVEN, CT — The League of Women Voters of Hamden/North Haven will host a meet-and-greet event with the candidates for state senate in the 34th District and state representative in the 87th District.

The public is invited to the event, which will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the Mildred A. Wakeley Community & Recreation Center at 7 Linsley Street in North Haven.

Republican incumbents Paul Cicarella and David Yaccarino, along with Democratic challengers Brandi Mandato and Kathleen Kimball, will participate.

Each candidate will have five minutes to speak. Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the candidates, ask questions, and learn where they stand on issues that matter to North Haven residents, according to a news release.

“The decisions made in Hartford affect our schools, taxes, public safety, transportation, healthcare, and other issues that touch our daily lives,” the news release states. “This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the people seeking to represent North Haven before casting your ballot.

“Whether you've already started thinking about the election or are still undecided, attending this event will help you become a more informed voter. Bring your questions, invite your neighbors, and take advantage of this chance to engage with the candidates in a nonpartisan community setting. Your vote matters—and making an informed choice begins with being informed.

“Don't leave your vote to campaign ads or mailers — come hear directly from the candidates and decide for yourself.”

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
