Both Ganim and Boughton will be in Washington D.C. next week for the winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. But Boughton will be skipping town when the conference ends Thursday rather than seeing Trump's swearing-in next Friday. Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling will also leave when the conference ends, the Connecticut Post reported.

Ganim, along with Bridgeport’s Democratic Town Committee Chairman Mario Testa, will attend, the Connecticut Post said.

“I’ve just got a lot to do,” Boughton told the Connecticut Post.
