Franklin endorsed for Warren mayor

WARREN

Trumbull For Positive Change, a Warren-based citizens organization, has endorsed Doug Franklin for mayor of Warren.

The organization started in 2007 as Barack for Change in support of the candidacy of Barack Obama and changed its name to Trumbull for Positive Change last fall, said Elaine Price, executive chairwoman.

Franklin, current safety-service director under Mayor Michael O’Brien, is opposed in the May 3 Democratic primary by United Auto Workers union president Jim Graham.
