About this Event
460 Mill Hill Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06610
Fairfield University will host a Connecticut State Senate District 22 Candidate Forum in collaboration with the Bridgeport Regional Business Council and the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. This community event is scheduled for August 5 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m., and will take place on Fairfield University's Bellarmine Campus located at 460 Mill Hill Ave., Bridgeport, Conn.
The 22nd State Senate District, encompassing Bridgeport, Monroe, and Trumbull, is vacant with the retirement of Senator Marilyn Moore, who has served since 2015. The seat, now open, has led to a competitive four-way primary set for Tuesday, August 13. This forum marks an opportunity for candidates to present their platforms, engage with the community, and address pressing issues. It is part of Fairfield University's broader commitment to fostering civic engagement among students, faculty, and the wider community as we approach the 2024 election.
Fairfield University Associate Professor of Politics and Director of the Master of Public Administration Gayle Alberda, PhD, will moderate the program. Alberda has worked in the political arena as a lobbyist, campaign strategist, and consultant. Her expertise is in U.S. political behavior, campaigns, and elections, and her research focuses on election science at both the national and local level, with a sub-specialty in pedagogical research.
Alberda often serves as a political analyst for local, national, and international media outlets. She continues to collaborate with public organizations through speaking engagements; providing testimony on election laws to Connecticut’s state legislature, the State Elections Enforcement Commission, and the superior court; and consulting with local governments and election administrators.
