Using Palestinian flags and images of crowds to suggest a threat to America is fearmongering. Pairing those images with a warning about “open borders” sends an ugly message about who belongs here.

New Britain is a community of people with roots around the world. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, and anyone seeking to represent this city should respect that.

Voters deserve to hear how you’ll improve their schools, make life more affordable, and strengthen their neighborhoods. Mr. Simsek, explain what you would do for the people you want to represent. This ad does none of that.

This monumental increase in education funding for New Britain schools is a direct result of the advocacy and hard work by Mayor Bobby Sanchez and our entire legislative delegation! Thank you all for delivering on an important campaign promise.

Statement from the New Britain Democratic Town Committee:

The New Britain Republican Town Committee should be ashamed of itself. Instead of offering solutions or focusing on the real challenges facing our city, they have once again chosen political bullying, personal attacks, and manufactured outrage. Their baseless lawsuit and public smear campaign drove away a resident who was willing to step forward and serve the people of New Britain. That is not leadership, it is cowardice.

This is the same tired playbook we have seen before: create chaos, spread misinformation, and hope people ignore the serious issues surrounding the prior administration, including the ongoing questions about misconduct involving the former Mayor and the former Tax Collector. The people of New Britain deserve answers and accountability, not distractions designed to change the subject.

While Republicans focus on political games, Democrats are focused on delivering for residents by fighting for stronger schools, safer neighborhoods, honest government, and a city that works for everyone. No amount of noise from the New Britain Republican Town Committee will change that.

Thank you Mayor Bobby Sanchez for leading with integrity and honesty while addressing many of the issues residents have been concerned about for years!

Earlier this month, on March 11, I delivered my first State of the City address, where I described New Britain in one word: resilient. Our city has endured challenges before,

The New Britain Republican Town Committee’s attempt to exploit the closure of Stanley Black & Decker’s hand tools plant for partisan gain is as disappointing as it is predictable. From day one, Republicans have chosen to attack every action of the new administration and blame Mayor Bobby Sanchez for every challenge facing our city, regardless of the facts.

Stanley Black & Decker’s own statement makes clear that this decision was driven by “a structural decline in demand for single-sided tape measures,” not by local politics. To suggest that a three-month-old municipal administration somehow caused a Fortune 500 company to restructure product lines is simply false.

This is a serious moment for the workers and families impacted. It deserves honesty and leadership, not political grandstanding. Our focus remains where it belongs: supporting affected employees, working with state and regional partners on economic development, and building a diversified, forward-looking economy for New Britain’s future.
