Brandon McGee To Announce Candidacy For Fifth District

THE HARTFORD GUARDIAN– Hartford resident Brandon L. McGee Jr. will formally announce his candidacy for State Representative in the 5th Assembly District on Thursday at Vibz Uptown.

“I have always believed that powerful change occurs when people come together for a common goal,” McGee said. “I am excited about the many possibilities for growth in the new 5th District, and I’m eager to work with the residents of Hartford and Windsor to develop legislation that capitalizes on those possibilities.”

At 6: 30 p.m., Brandon will be introduced by former Hartford City Councilman and retired Fire Captain Steve Harris and John Motley, Principal at Motley Beup. Retiring 5th District State Representative Marie Lopez Kirkley-Bey is also expected to attend, McGee said.

A native of Hartford, McGee currently serves as Director of Network Development at Urban Alliance, Inc. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Alabama State University and is pursuing his Masters of Science in Management & Organizational Leadership.

He has also been actively involved in the political arena, most recently as the Director of Outreach and Strategic Planning for former Gubernatorial Candidate Ned Lamont and Congressman John Larson.
