Longtime South Windsor Legislator Announces Future Plans

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT - State Representative Bill Aman announced Wednesday he will not seek re-election for his 14th General Assembly District seat, which he has held since 2004.

“I have thought long and hard about not running for re-election and the decision to step aside is a difficult one,” Aman said in a written statement. “I will truly miss working with the residents of South Windsor and I want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to be their voice at the Capitol.”

A resident of South Windsor since 1974, Aman volunteered for many positions in town before being elected to the 14th General Assembly District in 2004. Rep. Aman was elected to six terms on the South Windsor Town Council and served two terms as Mayor of South Windsor. He is a former member of South Windsor’s Economic Development Commission, Affordable Housing Task Force, Pension Committee, and Capital Projects Committee and served on the Capitol Region Council of Governments from 2001-2003. Aman also has presided over numerous weddings as a Justice of the Peace.

“Over my career I had the opportunity to work with so many residents to solve local and state issues,” added Aman. “I still have a lot of things to accomplish on behalf of my constituents before I leave office in January. I will continue to work to make structural changes to the budgeting processes and find relief for residents living with crumbling foundations.”

Aman currently serves as the Ranking Member of the legislature’s Planning and Development Committee. In addition, he sits on the legislature’s Appropriations, Judiciary and General Law Committees.

A Vietnam War veteran and graduate of Ithaca College in 1968, Aman went on to receive a MBA from Long Island University in 1972. Shortly after graduating, he started his own homebuilding business, Wilmar Construction Company, which built homes throughout the South Windsor area.

Aman has two beautiful daughters, Bonnie and Jessica, with his loving wife of 45 years Marti. He also has two wonderful grandchildren.

“During my time in office, I had the opportunity to form friendships with colleagues and staff on both sides of the aisle and I will miss them all greatly,” stated Aman. “But I am looking forward to spending more quality time with my wife, children, and grandchildren.”
