For the second time in a week, a challenger to Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra is saying information in the mayor's fundraising emails isn't true.
This time, it's about the challenger's own voting record.
Over the weekend, Democrat Luke Bronin -- former legal counsel to Gov. Dannel Malloy -- said Segarra was wrong when he said he had doubled the city's high school graduation rates since he'd been elected mayor.
Now, in an email with the subject line "Let's be accurate," Segarra's campaign says that "Democratic Party" voting records showed "Bronin missed voting in 10 Hartford elections since 2008, including the Hartford municipal elections in 2013 after he returned."
But Bronin says that last part about 2013 isn't true.
"I did vote in Hartford in 2013," Bronin said. "I distinctly remember the election and I have no idea why they would say that I didn't."
As for the missed "10 Hartford elections since 2008," Bronin says that's because he was, during that time, working for the Obama administration and was registered to vote in Washington, D.C.
Bronin's recollection of his 2013 vote is backed up by the secretary of the state's office, which confirmed in an interview that Bronin did in fact vote in Hartford in 2013.
And it's also backed up by records in the office of Hartford's town and city clerk.
"We didn't make that up," said Patrick Romano, Segarra's spokesman. "We went to a credible source and that credible source said he did not vote."
The credible source was the state Democratic party. When asked whether he checked that information with the state or the city, Romano repeated that his campaign went "to a credible source."
