HAMDEN, CT — The 2021 municipal election is heating up in Hamden with plenty of races on the ballot.

Voters will head to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 2 and cast their ballots for mayor, town clerk and seats on the legislative council and board of education.

Hamden Patch asked candidates to answer questions about their campaigns and will be publishing candidate profiles as election day draws near.

Cecilia Shea, 45, is running for the Hamden Legislative Council in the 7th District as a Republican.

Occupation: Caregiver Supervisor

Family: My husband Kevin, 48 years old, permanently disabled due to a drunk driver. Our son Jack 16 sophomore in Hamden High/ hockey and lacrosse player. My daughter also a lacrosse and hockey but as a freshman

Experience: 7th district

Family in government: No

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

Taxes and safety which are directly linked to the overalls and quality of life for the town residents

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

The only thing between us is that he was appointed to the position as a filler for it and while I am campaigning for it to take it from him.

Accomplishments:

Not only I’m experienced in what the turnout of a nation into socialism is like, but as far as life experience goes I’m graduate in HHRR with 22 years of experience managing budgets, and personnel and operations systems in different fields of the commerce.

Other issues:

As far as my district 7 regards, the roads are beyond destroyed, and the desperate need for flood repairs and roads repairs. Pipeline that are obstructing and have been obstructed for years now. The safety of our neighborhood are in jeopardy; the levels of robbery and burglary are beyond ever believed or even expected in this town.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I want my voters to know that I’m working hard and that I won’t rest until things start to take a positive course for the residents of this town, that I’m not pursuing a personal interest other than driving and transiting safely around town, over pristine roads with peace of mind that we are protected and embraced by our law enforcement force and won’t rest either until the quality of life we deserve and pay for gets delivered to its max and it’s best. Hamden residents deserves the quality of life that a town like Greenwich receives at a less tax/mill rate than our town does, and and that’s unacceptable.
