Maroney Reaches Fundraising Goal, Prepares for General Election

MILFORD, CT - From the Campaign For James Maroney: Democratic candidate for Connecticut’s 14th state senate district seat, James Maroney, surpassed fundraising goals one month after filing for candidacy, qualifying for the state’s Citizen Election Program.

In order to qualify, Maroney had to raise $15,000 from 300 donors within the district, which includes Milford, Orange, and parts of West Haven and Woodbridge.

“I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for this campaign,” Maroney said. “It’s clear that our message has really resonated with people, because we are all fighting for a state government that efficiently supports education, protects the environment, cares for our seniors, and fosters small business growth.

“In the weeks ahead, I will be talking directly with the voters and listening to their concerns.”

Maroney, who is running unopposed for the democratic nomination, is expected to receive the official nomination at the Democratic State Senate 14th District Convention May 21, 6 p.m. at Milford City Hall.

“I am humbled by the unified support of democrats in the 14th District,” he said. “It enables our campaign to focus on getting our message out to everyone in the district leading up to the general election.”

The general election is Nov. 6. Maroney will face the winner of the Republican primary happening later this month.

Following the Democratic State Senate 14th District Convention, Maroney will be hosting a reception at 7 p.m. at Stonebridge Restaurant, 50 Daniel St., Milford. To learn more about Maroney, go to www.maroneyforus.com.
