On Tuesday August 12th, Hartford and Wethersfield registered Democrats will get to select between Ed Vargas and John Fonfara (incumbent) in a primary. I’ve been a little allergic to politics lately (but I’m getting over it), and have not been paying much attention to either candidate. Yesterday, I received a very polite phone call from the Fonfara campaign. The woman on the phone was enthusiastic and informed, which did not influence my decision, but was a nice change from the usual campaign calls from jaded and tired-sounding volunteers.
