Alderman Mark Bernacki announces his Mayoral Campaign at the Falcons Club.

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

His announcement was amazingly held with standing room only crowd. Many in attendance were well known political and business entrepreneurs.

Substantially members of both parties and including some independents.

Alderman Bernacki has served 9 terms on the city council and four years as the chairman of the Police commission.

When he was pondering whether to run or not, subsequent to Mayor Stewart's announcement that he was not going seek another term,he was advised not to run by his mother because she had seen through his dad and him that being on the city council can be "brutal and nasty."

A small business owner, that has championed and supported others to become business owners as he and his wife have been for twenty two years.

His being involved with many charitable organizations too numerous to mention but his most appreciable and well known community service was given a "hand up" to the needy in our community with his starting a non-profit charity called warm the children with warm winter clothing in 2004.

After thanking Mayor Stewart for keeping the city taxes stabled as mayor he went on to say "my primary concern will be to bring jobs to New Britain, grow our grand list and control spending. Bringing leaders of both parties with local business and non- profit sectors together to work for the betterment of the city."


He concluded by stating that it is going to be a difficult and potential ugly election. You've seen the lengths that some candidates will go to disparage another. "I will not do that. I consider some of my Democratic opponents my friends. I want to open a positive campaign and talk about the issues encouraging the other candidates to keep the focus on solving our problems."

With a MBA from the University of Hartford he is well equipped to undertake and assume the Mayoral duties serving the city's citizens very well.

  1. A business owner with an MBA, or a garbage picker with a GED.

    Tough decision for who should run a city with a $210 million budget!

  5. He'll certainly get my families votes! Why do people like Catanzaro and O'Brien think they have the skills to run a city like NB? Can one actually picture either of them taking with a potential developer like Costco? Their ignorance of what is happening around the country is astounding! However, the unions will unite around whichever one wins a primary and that is sad! People need to open their eyes and finally vote people into office that have the city's best interests at heart and not their own wallets!
