We are only one week removed from a tiring and historic presidential campaign, but the political machine of Waterbury never stops running. We are 357 days from the next round of municipal elections and the fundraising and campaigning is already in full swing.
Board of Aldermen President J Paul Vance Jr. is holding a fundraiser tomorrow night at the Ponte Club. It is Alderman Vance's intention to seek the Democratic nomination for Mayor for the 2009 race. The biggest issue with this is that the current Mayor (Democrat Mike Jarjura) has said that he's planning on running for a fifth term. This puts the Democratic party in line for another primary fight in August, the third time out of five that Mayor Jarjura has face a primary.
Meanwhile people are still waiting for word regarding the Republican and Independent parties and who they will nominate this year. The fun has already begun, and the election is a year off! Only in Waterbury.
