Meet the Candidates: Anthony Candelora and Nick Demos

Republican Anthony Candelora and democrat Nick Demos spoke at the Oct. 27 Meet the Candidate night at North Branford Town Hall.

The North Branford Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual night on Oct. 27 at Town Hall. With 11 Town Council candidates and three Board of Education hopefuls sitting in front of the room, Frank Mentone of the Totoket Times hosted the event.

Town Council candidates each spoke first, followed by each of those running for Board of Education. After the speeches, a question and answer session followed where the public had the chance to voice concerns (story to follow). 

Today, the accompanying videos introduce you to Anthony Candelora (republican), who is currently the town's mayor, and Nick Demos (democrat). The remainder of candidates will be shown throughout the week.
