UPDATE:

Erin Stewart has suspended her campaign for governor.

The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection has confirmed that the case involving Republican gubernatorial candidate Erin Stewart is under investigation.

State police say they received a complaint and were asked to investigate.

The City of New Britain recently posted documents showing Stewart spent up to $200,000 on her city-issued credit card for personal items during her time as mayor.

At a rally in New Britain Tuesday night, Stewart said she has not seen any of the records in question and plans to respond to the allegations after this weekend’s Republican Convention.

“I want you to know that I am in the process of personally engaging a team to obtain all of these records myself and will address everything once I have the facts in front of me — because that’s what responsible leadership looks like,” Stewart said.
