On Wednesday, September 25, the Stamford Democratic City Committee (DCC) voted to expel Anabel Figueroa as a member of the DCC (District 8) due to her antisemitic and divisive statements that were made during her primary campaign. The vote was 37-1-1.
DCC Chair Robin Druckman released the following statement regarding the vote:
“Antisemitism and hateful rhetoric have no place in our political discourse or the City of Stamford. The Stamford Democratic City Committee underscored that tonight by voting 37-1-1 to expel Anabel Figueroa as a member of the Democratic City Committee. In a time when antisemitism and hate speech are on the rise, as Democrats, we cannot tolerate representatives of the Democratic Party using this type of language and violating the anti-hate policy of the Connecticut State Democratic Party platform.”
