Jay, you were a pillar of Bridgeport and you will truly be missed. I send my condolences to all the friends and family of Jay Piccirillo, aka Ice Man during this very difficult time.

PRELIMINARY REPORT: BOMB THREAT AT ST. MARGARET’S SHRINE

Mayor Ganim issued a statement regarding the passing of former-State Representative John (“Jack”) Hennessy and requests all flags be flown at half-staff on Monday.

I would like to thank @BridgeportFire, @bptpolice, AMR, and all the Fairfield Emergency Responders for jumping into action and rescuing a construction worker from a terrifying incident that happened at a home on Stratford Ave this morning.

Attached below is a statement regarding public Board of Education Meetings:

Scamming is a huge issue for our most vulnerable communities. I ask all Bridgeport residents to be vigilant with their personal information and keep watch for any Section 8 postings they may see on social media.

Stopped by Lancer’s Restaurant earlier to say hi to the owner and a few friends! If you’re ever in the mood for great Portuguese cuisine, be sure to visit this local spot, located at 283 Harral Ave. 👍

Last night at the @DemConvention while attending the @usmayors conference in Chicago was incredible. What a fantastic evening with powerful leaders that will help pave the way towards change while protecting the rights and freedoms of Americans all over the nation. #dnc2024

More construction to show off in our City! Steelpointe is pushing forward with development as housing will be added to what will be a tremendous space on our waterfront. This project is helping to bring a lot of excitement to Bridgeport's future. #BridgeportCT

It's always a joy seeing projects move along in our City, especially when those projects mean more housing for our residents. Crescent Crossings Phase III is underway and moving right along! Stay tuned to see this beautiful space make its way towards completion. #BridgeportCT

It's my honor to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the next 2024 presidential nominee. I'm wholly confident that the progress of our nation is in great hands underneath Vice President Harris' leadership while fighting to protect our rights, freedoms, and democracy.

As Mayor, my commitment to Bridgeport residents is unwavering. It’s always been my priority to hold the line on taxes and I’m happy to announce that goal has been accomplished for 2024. We’re working hard so our residents can keep more money in their pockets. #BridgeportCT

Sending warm wishes to everyone during today’s holiday. Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸

Summer's here! It's the perfect season for celebrations, gatherings, and enjoying the great outdoors. I hope you all enjoy these next few months safely while making incredible memories with your loved ones. 😎

Happy Juneteenth to all who celebrate it! To stand with freedom is to stand in solidarity with African-American communities. ✊

An update from the this morning’s incident. Geraldine Johnson School is closed for the day and will act as a place of refuge for residents who temporarily sought shelter this morning.

To all Bridgeport Public School High School Seniors graduating today: You did it! Congratulations to you all, may there be much success and tremendously bright futures ahead for each and every one of you. 👏

Earlier this week, I made a quick stop to the Student Leadership and Public Service Retreat, hosted by Superintendent Levy-David! It's always a great time when local leaders get to connect with youth in our City.

To Bridgeport residents: Thank you all for your patience. We finally have Main Street paved! We checked the box on this important task and I'm glad to know this section of Main Street is now taken care of.

Thrilled to support the Bridgeport Pride Center Fundraiser the other night. It's inspiring to see our community come together to uplift and empower one another. Together, we're building a more inclusive Bridgeport. #BridgeportPride #CommunityStrong
