Aurora Lyon Launches Ballot Petition Campaign for Connecticut State House District 102

BRANFORD, CT — Aurora Lyon, Progressive Party candidate for Connecticut State House District 102, announced the launch of her official ballot petition drive to qualify for the November 2026 general election ballot. The deadline for signatures is August 5th.

Lyon, a dedicated Branford resident and working-class advocate, is running to bring fresh, energetic leadership to Hartford. Her platform focuses on tackling New England’s skyrocketing energy costs through utility regulation and public ownership, ending unfair retail scheduling practices, fighting for economic and environmental justice, and championing government accountability.

"Branford residents deserve a voice in Hartford that isn't afraid to push for real, material change," said Aurora Lyon. "From outrageous utility bills to unpredictable working schedules, working families are being squeezed from every side. We are launching this petition drive to ensure voters have a genuine progressive choice on the ballot this fall. I invite everyone in District 102 to come out, sign the petition, and help us build a better future together."

To secure a spot on the ballot, the campaign will host petition signature gathering events across Branford:

• Friday, July 31| 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM Location: Branford Town Green (1011 Main St, Branford, CT)
• Saturday, August 1 | 2:00 AM – 4:00 PM Location: Parker Memorial Park (Harbor St, Branford, CT)
• Sunday, August 2 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Location: Stony Creek Farmers' Market, Bayview Park (Thimble Islands Rd, Branford, CT)
