Erin Elizabeth Stewart (born May 4, 1987) is an American politician and the 40th Mayor of New Britain, Connecticut.[1][2] Stewart is the daughter of the former Mayor of New Britain Tim Stewart, who has served from 2003 to 2011.[3] She was elected to her first term on November 5, 2013, at the age of 26, to become the youngest mayor in New Britain's history and the city's second female mayor.[4][5] Stewart was re-elected to a second term on November 3, 2015, and a third term on November 7, 2017.[6]
In March 2018, she entered the race for Governor of Connecticut. Her late entry caused problems with fundraising and accumulating delegate support, so she switched her campaign to one for lieutenant governor. She then lost the Republican primary for that race on August 14, coming in second against State Senator Joe Markley.
