It’s sure to be an interesting election year, given a split among Hamden Democrats that, according to politicos, partially mirrors the national divide between the “moderate” and “progressive” wings of the party and also stems from local issues and rivalries.
Most recently, the tensions became apparent in the Democratic Town Committee’s process to field candidates seeking the party’s endorsement to run for mayor. Incumbent Mayor Curt Balzano Leng, a Democrat who has held the post since 2015, is not participating, nor has he indicated whether he will seek reelection or the endorsement.
