In this local election year that will see voters place candidates in prominent offices—including seats on the Board of Selectmen, Board of Education and Town Council—the League of Women Voters of New Canaan is urging residents to be on the lookout for its 2015 “Know Your Representatives” brochure. The brochure is being printed and snail-mailed, and will include a list of all of New Canaan’s local, state and federal representatives. “Please watch out for your copy,” the nonprofit organization said in a press release. Selectmen serve two-year terms in odd-numbered years, while portions of both the Board of Ed and Town Council serve four-year terms. Elected officials whose terms are expiring in 2015 include (it isn’t clear yet who is running for re-election or what newcomers will put in for local elected offices):
Board of Education
Hazel Hobbs (chairman)
Scott Gress (vice chairman)
Gene Goodman
Alison Bedula
Town Council
Ken Campbell
Steve Karl (vice chairman)
Tucker Murphy
Roger Williams
Joe Paladino
John Emert
Copies of the brochure also will be available at the first selectman’s office, New Canaan Library and other sites in town, the league said. “The League would like to thank Bankwell in New Canaan (formerly Bank of New Canaan) for their financial support to underwrite the printing of this community resource,” the press release said.
