CAMPAIGN 2024: One-on-one with State Senate candidate Michelle Coelho:
PART ONE: Who is Michelle Coelho, and what has she learned from her 2022 campaign?
Last week, I had the chance to sit down with Republican State Senate candidate Michelle Coelho for CT Senate District 24 to discuss the state of her campaign against Julie Kushner and her perspective on what she feels are the top concerns in the district.
The upcoming State Senate contest is a rematch of the highly competitive 2022 race that received significant attention in the area. In the first part, I asked Coelho how her experience from the defeat two years ago prepared her for the second attempt at state office.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
