Pacavisiting Immanuel Baptist.
Sunday morning Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church‘s Associate Pastor Ron Smith — a former city clerk and 2015 mayoral aspirant — preached an impassioned sermon with the theme “Nothing is impossible.”
Those words had particular resonance for one visiting worshipper, Marcus Paca, whose campaign to unseat incumbent Mayor Toni Harp constitutes taking on the New Haven’s Democratic establishment.

Delgado gets some straight talk from senior Flemming.
Charlie Delgado didn’t enter the room and immediately start introducing himself and shaking hands. He didn’t pass out his campaign literature or deliver a polished campaign stump speech.
Charlie Delgado was there to seek votes. But, he told the crowd, he is not a politician.

After receiving the endorsement of the Connecticut Hispanic Democratic Caucus, Mayor Toni Harp went door-knocking with Hill alders and scored a lawn sign and a commitment of about half a dozen voters to cast their ballots for her on election day.

Sepulveda: back in the Ward 30 saddle, hoping to stay there.
Political newcomer James-Goldson.
Two of the three candidates running to be the next alder for Ward 30 are lifelong New Haveners with connections and histories that they hope will bridge both sides of the big rock on the west side of town.
They also hope to turn out enough voters to decide whether strong experience or new energy matters most in the next representative for the West Rock/West Hills section of the city.
Marcus Paca promised that if he becomes mayor, he will fight gentrification, while Mayor Toni Harp argued that the burst of market-rate housing in town doesn’t constitute gentrification.
Harp promised to continue New Haven’s “sanctuary city” policies even if President Trump withholds federal grants, while Paca promised to take a closer look at the issue first to avoid losing needed dollars.

Clyburn at Monday’s rally.

Delphine Clyburn plans to hit Newhallville’s “Learning Corridor” as usual this Saturday — this time to announce she’s seeking a fourth two-year term as Ward 20 alder.

A triumphant Graves at Tuesday night’s convention.
