I want to offer Bridgeport's residents curbside voting to make it safer and easier for people who are disabled or at risk of serious illness from COVID-19. That is why I am calling for additional ballot drop boxes and funding for the Bridgeport Town Clerk's Office that processes the ballots and will be handling a much larger volume of documents than in past elections.
