Bridgeport Mayor Ganim to Attend Trump Inauguration

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Mayor Joe Canim will attend the Donald Trump inauguration.

Ganim will already be in D.C. for the U.S. Conference of Mayors, according to the Connecticut Post. Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton will also be in D.C., but opted to head home at the end of the conference, citing that he was busy drafting a new city budget.

Other Connecticut city mayors are staying out of D.C. with the exception of New Haven Mayor Toni Harp, who may stay for the anti-Trump Women's March.

Ganim has history with Trump. Trump considered building a casino in the 1990's, but plans fell through. He also attended Trump's wedding to Marla Maples.

Ganim was mayor of Bridgeport from 1991 to 2003 when he resigned due to a federal corruption charge conviction. He mounted a comeback in 2015.
