In accepting the endorsement Rivera acknowledged Carrier, who attended the May 12th Democratic convention held at Casablanca (the former St. Jean Baptiste Society Hall) on Smalley Street. “I don’t have a problem with Mike running on the other side, but he is running on the other side. I consider him a friend.” Rivera added, however that “we need to come together so that our agenda is the one we’re talking about because the Republican agenda talks about taking away women’s rights” and opposes actions that help working people and those who are struggling. Thanking delegates, Rivera said he was proud to be running with the city’s Democratic state legislative delegation who are effective advocates for Berlin and New Britain at the state Capitol. Rivera has been an attorney for more than 30 years in New Britain at the Rivera Law Group and served on the Common Council as Majority Leader.
