CT DSA is proud to announce our endorsement of Justin Farmer for State Representative in the 92nd House District, in the Democratic Primary on August 11th!
We’re proud to endorse Justin, a founding member of CT DSA and fighter for the multiracial working class who has struggled alongside us to bring change both in the streets and through his extensive history in elected office.
Justin grew up in Newhall in southern Hamden, on land contaminated by decades of industrial pollution. He has since built a career in brownfield remediation, fighting to make polluters clean up their mess, and organizing the Six Lakes Park Coalition to turn a former powder farm into a public park. When he knocked on his first campaign doors in 2017, he was wearing noise-canceling headphones to manage his Tourette’s Syndrome.
As a Hamden Legislative Councilor, Justin led the fight to abolish prison gerrymandering in Connecticut and was a driving force behind the state’s Right to Counsel law, guaranteeing legal representation to tenants facing eviction. He has stood with immigrant communities, marched with Black Lives Matter New Haven, and built a block of socialist legislators and organizers who share his vision that a better world is possible.
The 92nd District — covering Westville, Edgewood, Amity, Dwight, West River, and the Hill — has had the same representative for 42 years. Justin Farmer is running to change that.
Let’s send Justin Farmer, a proud Democratic Socialist, to the Connecticut State House! 🌹
