Hamden Democrat Justin Farmer Seeks Senate Nomination in 17th.

Hamden town council member Justin Farmer is a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the state senate’s 17th district. The “hobo-chic activist” is seeking to challenge two-term Republican incumbent George Logan in the district that includes all or part of seven towns from Hamden to Ansonia.

Farmer will first need to get by Jorge Cabrera, his fellow Hamden Democrat who challenged and came close to defeating Logan in 2018.
