“I am honored to continue to serve as your chairman,” said Sheinberg, who will be serving his third term as DTC chair. “I am proud to serve as chair of such a strong, energized and engaged committee and look forward to our continued work to make Fairfield an even better place to live.”

State Rep. Cristin McCarthy Vahey, who recently launched her reelection campaign for Connecticut’s 133rd assembly district, nominated Sheinberg and noted his tireless energy, his dedicated service to the Democratic Party, and his steadfast leadership not just at the local level, but also among Democratic town committees statewide.
