Politics is in Erin Stewart’s blood.
The daughter of four-term New Britain Republican Mayor Timothy Stewart and niece of the late Dominic Badolato, who served 22 years in the General Assembly representing New Britain as a Democrat, Erin Stewart is serving her fifth term as the Hardware City’s GOP mayor.
Stewart who is fiscally conservative while holding progressive views on issues like abortion and gay rights was the youngest mayor of any U.S. city when she was first elected at 26 years old in 2013.
Erin Stewart, the high-profile mayor of New Britain for the past nine years, announced Sunday evening that she won’t be running for governor next year.
