The Democratic Process at Work

I want to thank those who attended the 2009 Democratic caucus and put the democratic process to work. I am honored to be the Democratic Party’s candidate for Selectman running on the ticket with Cathy Iino, who I was proud to nominate for First Selectman.

Many of you have known me all my life. My family moved to Killingworth from New York City in 1949 and built a house on property that had been in my mother’s family since the early 1900s. I have been a public servant, in some capacity, on the local, county, regional, state and national level, volunteer or otherwise, for over forty years. My town is dear to me and I intend to be a strong and unifying candidate. I am also at a point in my life when I can devote the time and energy that it now takes to run the town while planning competently for its future.

Over the years I have served Killingworth in many elected, appointed, and volunteer positions. I have been on the Board of Selectmen and served a term as First Selectman. I am currently Chair of the Board of Assessment Appeals, serve on the Killingworth Ambulance Association, the Volunteer Fire Company, and recently the Town Charter Revision Committee, to name just a few. I am a life member of both the Killingworth Historical Society and the Killingworth Land Trust.

I know Killingworth. I know where it has been and where it is now. I know that we have to work together to accomplish what tomorrow requires. I hope to see as many of you as I can in the weeks and months ahead to discuss the issues and to ask for your vote.
