Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump has endorsed John Gomes for Bridgeport mayor.

Crump released a video of his endorsement which is available as a YouTube short on Jon Gomes' official campaign channel.

In the video, Crump says, "I am so proud to endorse John Gomes for mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut. I know John will be a fighter for those who need a voice the most. Just like he has fought in the past and exhibited leadership, he will do that for you. As we continue to fight for justice for George Floyd and Brianna Taylor and Tyre Nichols; we must always remember, all politics are local. We have to make sure that every citizen regardless of their ethnicity, race or religious creed, that their voices will count; and with John Gomes, trust me, your voice will count."

Crump is the president of the National Civil Rights Trial Lawyers Association and is the latest prominent nationally recognized public figure to endorse John Gomes.

Gomes, Lamond Daniels, and Marilyn Moore, are all running against the current mayor of Bridgeport, Joe Ganim.
