Mary Fay Hits Her Mark. Republican Candidate for Comptroller Announces She Has Qualified for Full Public Funding.

West Hartford Republican Mary Fay’s campaign for comptroller gets a major boost this weekend. Fay told supporters in an email she has raised the $86,600 in small contributions needed to qualify for $968,000 in taxpayer funds for the sprint from Labor Day to Election Day.

Fay faces Democrat Sean Scanlon, who qualified for public funds early in the campaign. Scanlon will have been busy this weekend coping with an oil spill at Tweed New Haven Airport, where the Democrat was parachuted into a political plum post as executive director in 2019.
