Submitted by Democratic mayoral candidate Joe Carfora:

"Carfora will continue to campaign with integrity and not participate in his opponent’s personal smear tactics," his statement reads.

"My opponent and his handlers continue the personal attacks on me and my family. Despite a yearlong campaign, and numerous opportunities to speak about real issues, my opponent still fails to do so, but instead chooses a negative personal attack campaign. He and his Republican handlers have embarrassed East Haven for far too long.
