Pizarro joins New Haven mayor-elect's transition team
Mayor-Elect Justin Elicker Friday tapped a diverse crew of grassroots activists — including a working families legislative leader, an immigrant rights champion, and a school parents organizer — to guide his transition and chart a policy course for the next two years.
Elicker introduced the co-chairs and two dozen other members of his newly formed transition team, at a press conference held at his campaign headquarters at 161 Whalley Ave.
The event offered a picture of unity after a week of events — an election, a black-brown showdown at City Hall — that highlighted New Haven’s divisions.

Fellow Bruni Pizarro has joined the team to work, in her words, "in the areas of climate change and environment to usher in new policies that hold transparency and equity at the forefront."
