Mike DiGiovancarlo is the Democratic nominee for the House of Representative from the state’s 74th District. The Waterbury Democrat serves on the city’s board of aldermen and is an ally of Mayor Neil O’Leary.

A Waterbury patrol and community relations officer, DiGiovancarlo contributed to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign committee in 2016, according to Federal Election Commission reports. DiGiovancarlo may be ready to give up his day job. He is endorsed by the Working Families Party, which has been in the forefront of the movement to defund the police.

DiGiovancarlo faces two-term incumbent Republican Stephanie Cummings.
