Former Bridgeport mayoral candidate John Gomes is the subject of a lawsuit filed by the City of Bridgeport Housing Authority for allegedly making defamatory comments regarding the housing authority’s practices during a contentious mayoral campaign.
The City of Bridgeport Housing Authority, also known as Park City Communities (PCC), accuses Gomes in their October 2023 complaint of falsely telling news outlets that they conspired with incumbent mayor Joe Ganim to exclude Gomes and his campaign workers from its properties while permitting access to Ganim campaign workers.
