Bartholomew F. Guida

Bartholomew "Bart" F. Guida (1914–1978) was a Democrat who was Mayor of New Haven for three terms from 1970 to 1975, succeeding Richard C. Lee. During his time as mayor, the city became overwhelmingly Democrat-controlled.[1] He reversed Lee's policy of urban renewal, and opposed Yale University on several issues, opposing President Kingman Brewster over the construction of two new residential colleges.[2]

He was found dead of a gunshot wound on April 26, 1978.[3][4][5]
