New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart announces she won't seek seventh term

New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart announced in a video on Facebook on Tuesday morning that she will not be seeking re-election to a seventh term.

In November 2023, she was elected to a sixth two-year term.

Stewart said in a video announcement on Facebook on Tuesday morning that she will not be running in November 2025.

NBC Connecticut has reached out to Stewart’s office for further comment.
