A Republican Connecticut gubernatorial candidate suspended her campaign Thursday after being accused of fraud.
Erin Stewart, the former mayor of New Britain, was accused by Crumbie Law Group, a law firm hired by her democratic successor to investigate rumors of wrongdoing, of spending $207,076.07 on a government credit card during her tenure without disclosing how the funds were used. The bombshell allegations came just days ahead of a primary she was favored to win and were cited as the reason for her campaign’s suspension.
