Official Profile
Religion: Catholic (self-identified)
Background: Erin Stewart (b. 1987), 40th Mayor of New Britain CT 2013–2025 (six terms, longest-serving R mayor in city history); Catholic; self-described 'fiscal conservative, social liberal' Republican; ran briefly for Gov 2018 then LG; declared for Gov Nov 2025; suspended May 14 2026 amid Crumbie Law Group investigative report alleging ~$207K personal/political charges on city credit card 2016–2025. CT State Police + CT AG opened separate probes.
[2026-06-05 evidence finalization · LOCAL autopilot · state-tier dual-office] CURRENCY: did NOT seek reelection as New Britain Mayor Nov 2025; SUSPENDED gov campaign May 14 2026 amid criminal investigation (Crumbie Law Group fraud report → CT State Police + CT AG probes incl. Mayor's Trophy charitable fund subpoena June 2026 · CT Mirror). Textbook moderate / social-liberal Republican record. Pro-choice: kicked off gov campaign emphasizing pro-choice position; refused to run with a 'right winger' pro-lifer; cast deciding vote to allow Planned Parenthood to provide contraception in New Britain public schools (Family Institute of CT). Supports same-sex marriage; personally attended/spoke at New Britain Central Park Pride flag-raising and helped organize first NB Pride 2018; 'Pride in the City' month resolution under her tenure (CT Mirror, NB Herald, NB Independent). Gun controls: 'comfortable with reasonable controls'; declined to join Rs wanting to repeal CT post-Newtown gun laws. Explicitly refused to reinstate capital punishment (Rom 13:4 framing FALSE). One TRUE: balanced-budget posture as mayor (no-tax-increase budgets, reduced city headcount). DEVIATION ALERT: documented multi-source social-liberal R record — high-value catch. Record marked status=former (no longer holds office, withdrew from gov race).
