Are you running for city council on the Working Families Party ticket. Hope some one is as all we have so far are Demo's and repub's. Someone has got to get those 3 seats. I am very good at door knocking and gathering names. Support you 100%. Luis

Man people get shot on that street almost weekly. I'm glad I wasn't born here becuase alot of people from Hartford have this Slave-like mentality where they're so scared of change it's pathetic. And eddie can run it cocky if he'd like to. He got the Strong Mayor vote because he's the man, CANDY. just becuase Carrie Saxon-F'n Perry couldn't do jack about the crackheads in the Northend doesn't mean Eddie can't tackle those problems that plague the Northend Oh, My God, Candy, you live in Vine Street and you have a computer, I bet you were typing at the library, huh?

Hope some of the politicians can.

And big f'n whoptie doo - there's a BGC in the northend - let me kiss your booboo. Violence exist just as much in the heart of the city (ESPECIALLY near Park St.) as it does in the northend and it has for years. Unlike Falcon, I am born/raised here - VINE STREET. (mapquest it) Run it Confident or Cocky? What's your point? Eddie lover :) Falcon needs to move back to Boston and stop bragging about living near Park Street during construction.

Hartford has been very segregated for some time, and I'm from Boston, so I can tell you that this is very different from Plessy vs. Furgeson living in Hartford. on another note, I would love it if everybody would just stop saying things about “Eddie’s People” since they seem to be for the most part Hispanic!. there is a disconnect when it comes to being white and being black in Hartford, I use those races becuase they are the extremes, there are alot Ppolish, Italians, Bosnians, etc. there are alot of people in Hartford besides Hartford, so if they feel that Hartford voted for Eduardo Perez, then it’s becuase he’s bringing a change to hartford. he doesn’t HAVE to to worry about the outsiders, becuase, although crime has risen in the northen, it’s always been a problem out there, wether you like it or not, and there’s a black police chief out there and well, the crimes are happening in black neighborhoods.

He has provided jobs for people, he has provided the uplifting of communities. I have lived in the Park Street Neighborhood when there was construction going on. The People in Hartford want somebody who wants to connect all of Hartford, which is what Eddis has been trying to do. it's not his fault that Crime has risen in the North End, he's built community programs over there years ago, there's a Boys and Girls club out there. Most people who criticize Eddie for his nonsense don't know him, and I doubt he'll lose, because he's helped his constituents, which aren't republicans living off of Asylum avenue by Elizabeth Park, his party is in the community, which, if there are white people left in Hartford, understand that Eddie has been doing things the way that Lyndon B. Johnson did it, or George W. Bush has been doing it, his own way. bully-whoever-gets-in-your-way, which to me is the way to run a government........run it with confidence!!!!!!!!

Charles. I liked his idea of a shared vision, and (perhaps naively) believed it wasn't just rhetoric. Plus, as much as I like Stan, I can't see a republic winning in this town, dysfunctional as Hartford Dems are. I liked I. Charles.

He's a Republican, but...the answers he was giving sounded way more interesting to me than some of the "canned" responses. If De Jesus can get himself more organized, I could see him having a shot at this in a few years. That guy had a lot of energy.
