My name is Linda Fusco and I am the Chair of the
Derby Democratic Town Committee. While many people will tell you that primaries
are bad for the party, I think they are an important part of the democratic
process. This year, the primary between Mayor Anita Dugatto and Board of
Aldermen President Carmen DiCenso was an opportunity for the Democrats in Derby
to make their voice heard about who they want representing them in November.

| Mayor Dugatto |
The people chose Mayor Anita Dugatto. But it is the qualities of both Democratic
candidates that raise the bar for public servants.
Mayor Dugatto and Mr. DiCenso are distinguished
Democrats and community leaders who were
both born and raised in Derby.
Their strong work ethic empowered them to excel in their professional
and political lives. They were driven to
public service by their intense passion to see Derby prosper. This passion,
however, is not exclusive to them. It is
apparent throughout the community as evidenced by the level of public
engagement leading up to and including primary day.
Going forward we need to
maintain our enthusiasm as Democrats and remind ourselves of what it means to
be a Democrat in Derby. We must show
the people of this city that it is us who will fight for them in City Hall.
Please join me in supporting Mayor Anita Dugatto
on November 7th.
