Greenwich Town Clerk Announces Re-Election Campaign

GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich Town Clerk Jackie Budkins has announced plans to run for a third term.

Budkins, a Republican, was first elected to the position in 2021 and took over for her mother, Carmella, who retired after three decades as town clerk.

"Over the past three and a half years, I have worked diligently to modernize and enhance the services provided by the Town Clerk’s Office to our community. From streamlining internal operations to expanding public access, our focus has remained steadfast: improving how our office serves the residents of Greenwich," Budkins said in her announcement.

Budkins said the town has made "significant strides" in adopting new technologies to meet community needs.

"From digitizing records to implementing more user-friendly systems for document access and filing, we’ve brought greater efficiency, transparency, and convenience to the office," Budkins added. "We’ve also prioritized accessibility — ensuring residents can interact with our office easily, whether online or in person."

Budkins highlighted several accomplishments, including a new and improved platform for obtaining dog licenses; the introduction of a property alert system that allows residents to monitor property records; the integration of digital voting for the Representative Town Meeting; and the timely execution of electoral processes during elections.

Additionally, Budkins noted that she personally earned a designation as a Certified Connecticut Town Clerk over her tenure.

Serving as your Town Clerk has been a privilege, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. But there is more to do. If re-elected, I will continue building on this foundation, pursuing smart innovations and maintaining the high standard of service Greenwich deserves," Budkins said. "I'm grateful for the trust you've placed in me, and I respectfully ask for your continued support as we move forward."

This year's election is scheduled for Nov. 4.
