Branford Election 2021: Nancy McCormack Running For RTM

BRANFORD, CT —The state Municipal Election is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Patch contacted candidates to answer questions about their campaigns.

Democrat Nancy McCormack, 66, is running for RTM District 6

Occupation: Retired Chief Probation Officer

Family: 21-year-old daughter

Experience: Former member of the RTM

Family in government: No

The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

Economic Development is a huge issue. The right leadership would ensure keeping our taxes low and provide job opportunities and bringing younger families to our town.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

The willingness to work with all members of the RTM for the betterment of Branford, rather than making closed-door decisions that involve only one party.

Accomplishments:

I've been involved in elections locally, statewide and federally all my life. I was the first female Democratic Moderator of the RTM in the late 90s. I'm not afraid to work hard for the betterment of the Town.

Other issues:

My daughter is a product of the Branford Public School System. Paying our teachers well and supporting the Police & Fire Departments are important issues to me and other town residents.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I recently retired from the State of CT Judicial Branch, after 31 years serving as a Bail Commissioner, Affirmative Action Division Coordinator and finally Chief Probation Officer. Currently, I'm a Vice Chair of the Democratic Town Committee. You can find me backstage doing hair at the BHS theater productions, and one of my favorite things to do!
