Someone forgot to tell Delphine Clyburn that the elections are over.

Or maybe she and her fellow labor-backed aldermen-elect preparing to take control of New Haven’s legislature have a new idea in mind for how to spend their time.

Meanwhile, she has kept knocking on doors four days a week in her Newhallville neighborhood. She’s no longer asking for votes. Rather she’s asking for help in developing a long-range team of politically active citizens independent of party organizations.

“The people will come with me,” Clyburn said. “I promise you.”
