There is no one tougher than Mary Glassman, or so she tells the Hartford Courant.

Glassman grew up in a blue collar family in New Britian. She and her siblings were the first in their family to go to college. A former journalist and UCONN-schooled lawyer, Glassman has been first selectman in Simsbury for six years, a democrat leader in a town full of Republicans.

In 2006, she for Lieutenant Governor, first on a ticket with Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy…and later with Mayor John DeStefano.

She’ll be on the ballot again this election season – now as an opponent to Malloy and current Lt. Governor Mike Fedele for the biggest job in the state – Governor.

Today, we continue our “Where We Vote” series with Democratoic gubernatorial candidate Mary Glassman.
