Urban issues took center stage at a gubernatorial debate in New Haven Thursday night, as candidates played to a hometown audience.
Six Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls — Ned Lamont, Dan Malloy, Juan Figueroa, Mary Glassman, Rudy Marconi, and Mike Jarjura — participated in the debate at Wilbur Cross High School. New Haven’s Democratic Town Committee, which has the largest bloc of convention delegates (81) up for grabs in the race, hosted the event. Journalists from the Independent, New Haven Register, and La Voz Hispana posed the questions to the candidates.
Meanwhile, a separate panel of journalists from six Connecticut online news sites commented on the debate in real time, in a conversation that included readers.
