Campaign History

Jill has always believed in the opportunities for growth in Bridgeport. The more she became involved and invested as a parent, the more she recognized the inequities and lack of progress made with the current administration and council.  


After being involved in the John Gomes mayoral campaign, she began to have confidence that change is possible with strong leadership. Ultimately, she felt she had no choice but to get involved and decided the best way to have an impact was to run for City Council. 


Jill Hughes fully supports Mary Jane Foster for Mayor of Bridgeport and is pleased to be running on her slate with her partner, Jim Fox who is also running for City Council, 130th district.
