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

Patch contacted candidates to answer questions about their campaigns.

Occupation: Business Owner

Family: Husband Ralph, 4 daughters and 2 grandchildren

Experience: Town Council District 1

Family in government: no

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

Tweed Airport and Sperry Lane. I believe there is misinformation and I would like to clear it up. I will do my best to answer questions and will fight for the best outcomes possible for our citizens.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I have lived in East Haven for 29 years and raised 4 daughters. I have two grandchildren. We have owned our business for 18 years. My family and I are invested in East Haven. We believe in giving back to our community on a regular basis.

Accomplishments:

I worked for a national law firm for 12 years as the recruiting coordinator. I worked closely with the Hiring Partner and Hiring Committee. I gained an enormous ability to multi task on a high level and listen and communicate. All of which definitely helps me today as a Town Council member.

Other issues:

In addition to helping neighbors and informing new residents about available town services, I made sure that our kids had an affordable day camp. Our parents had peace of mind knowing their kids were in a safe, quality day camp. I will always look for ways for improvement and fight for what our citizens want and need.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

East Haven is my hometown. I love living here. During the last two years, amazing things have been happening, and I want to keep the momentum. An area I want to get more involved with going forward is Urban Renewal. I look forward to the opportunity.
