Fairfield Board of Selectmen Member to Resign

FAIRFIELD, CT — Citing increased business travel, Republican Laurie McArdle will resign from the Fairfield Board of Selectmen effective Dec. 1, according to the Fairfield Citizen.

The Citizen reports Representative Town Meeting member Ed Bateson will likely succeed McArdle, who was elected to the board along with fellow Republican Chris Tymniak last November. First Selectman Mike Tetreau, a Democrat, defeated Tymniak in the race for the town’s top spot.

Any registered Republican wishing to seek the party’s endorsement to replace McArdle on the board must submit a letter of intent to Republican Town Committee Chairman James Millington and be nominated from the floor at the committee’s Dec. 5 meeting, according to the Citizen.
