Herbst Gets 11 Endorsements From Current And Former Town Leaders

TRUMBULL, CT — First Selectman Tim Herbst now has endorsements from 11 current and former municipal leaders across the state in his bid for governor.

"Our campaign to upend business as usual in Hartford continues to gain momentum every day and in every corner of Connecticut," Herbst said. "I am honored and humble to have the support of these incredible leaders."

The endorsements include:

• Mike Freda, First Selectman of North Haven
• Mike Pavia Former Mayor of Stamford
• Dick Moccia, Former Mayor of Norwalk
• Mary Moran, Former Mayor of Bridgeport
• David Cassetti, Mayor of Ansonia
• Enzo Faienza, Mayor of Cromwell
• Ken Halaby, Former First Selectman of Trumbull
• Carl Massaro Jr., Town Council Chairman of Trumbull
• Henry Vasel, Former Mayor of Rocky Hill
• Tom Hermann, Former First Selectman of Easton
• Roy Simmons, Selectman in Putnam

"To bring prosperity back to our state we need a leader like Tim Herbst who has done on the local level what we need done in Hartford," said North Haven First Selectman Mike Freda. "When Tim took office in Trumbull he led by example and refused a town pension and moved all political appointees into a defined contribution plan. Tim tackled serious challenges with a firm commitment to reform, finding over $1 million in operational savings in his first 100 days in office and making the tough calls to get unfunded liabilities under control."
