Candidate Bio: William Wilson (R) for Board of Education, Posted: 31 Aug 2015 11:00 PM PDTWilliam Wilson (R) Candidate Bio:
William Wilson (R) Board of Education: I was an elected Planning and Zoning commissioner from 2001-2005. I was also an elected of official of Board of Assessment Appeals from 2009-2011. I have sat on the Cable Advisory commission since 1995 and I am currently the Vice Chairman. I am also the Vice Chairman of the Middletown Republican Town Committee.

I have chosen to run for the Board of Education because I believe there needs to be someone who listens to the taxpayers. I intend to bring accountability to the budgeting process. My goal is to see that we are using the taxpayers money appropriately. I also want to focus on eliminating the threat of lay offs for the teachers and cancellation of student activities. I feel that I can bring fresh perspective and ideas to help make Middletown have a strong and effective Board of Education.

I hope you will join me in voting for the entire Row A team for a better Middletown

Candidate Bio: Gene Nocera (D) Common Council Posted: 31 Aug 2015 11:00 PM PDTCandidate for Council Gene P. Nocera, PhD (D)
Gene P. Nocera, PhD - Democratic Candidate for Common Council: Over the course of my lifelong career in Middletown, as a teacher, principal, Board of Education Chairman, doctoral graduate from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, university instructor and public and private school administrator, I have acquired a deep understanding of learning theory, administration, and city government. In addition to my impact in the classroom, schools, school district, city government and community, I have also worked hard to reach out to influence the school district’s culture, providing goal clarification and a positive school and city climate, helping reduce and community isolation within the decision making process, and sharing the power and responsibility with our staff and community.

In my judgment the greatest contribution our elected officials can provide is leadership to cultivate shared values that create a community climate of openness, mutual respect, support, and excellence.

I am seeking election to the City of Middletown Common Council because I believe that my leadership skills, leadership training, as well as my administrative planning skills and political experiences bring an important balance to the City.I am well versed on the workings of our city government and the needs of our community and have 40 years of varied leadership experiences to draw upon. I have the maturity, experience, and common sense to provide quality leadership, and ask for your support in November.
