Madison First Selectman Decides His Political Future

Madison First Selectman Fillmore McPherson said Thursday that three terms of office is enough for him and he won’t be seeking reelection. In an interview with the New Haven Register, McPherson said the job requires 24/7 attention and he wants to step back and enjoy life more.

The position pays $79,000 annually.

“I’ve accomplished a lot of what I set out to do,” McPherson said via the Register. “Now, it’s time for someone else to take the job and make their own mark.”

McPherson cited numerous accomplishments, which you can read here in the Register’s article including the fiscal health of the town.
