Stamford Election 2021: Lynda Roscia For Board Of Reps.

STAMFORD, CT — Election Day on Nov. 2 is fast approaching, and there are a number of key races on the ballot in Stamford.

Patch reached out to candidates for local office to get more information on their campaigns and the issues that are facing the city.

Lynda Roscia is running for the Stamford Board of Representatives, District 8, as a petitioning candidate.

Occupation: Semi-retired/Building Manager. Stamford resident for over 30 years.

Family: Mother of two, including an Air Force veteran and law enforcement officer, with two granddaughters.

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

I am running for this office because I feel we need a new voice, the voice of the people who live in District 8. Nearly twenty years is enough of the same old policies and groupthink, new blood is needed to get things done in this city and truly provide for the needs of the District. The top priority is to find out what my constituents are most concerned about. I plan to be available to our District and be the first point of contact with prevailing issues. Traffic, public safety, clean streets, improving schools, and upgrading city parks are my priority.

Accomplishments:

I currently manage a complex and address different problems every day, these are the same problems the people in my district are facing on a larger scale. I took our complex over from an almost bankrupt entity after gross mismanagement into a thriving community.

I am a problem solver. Your problem becomes mine until it is resolved. I don’t give up and want to address the main issues my constituents feel need addressing. I will find out where to go for an answer and what can be done to resolve it. Whether it be a zoning issue, an infrastructure issues or a school issue, I will tackle whatever comes my way. I’ve worked with builders, developers, and all of the trades. I’ve worked in the building department in a neighboring town. I know how to get things done.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I’m here, I am available and will be steadfast in responding to your concerns in order to get them to the proper entity to achieve the need change. Try to minimize the red tape that makes basic things take too long. No reason why we can’t get to the heart of the matter and get it resolved. Unlike the stagnant past, new ideas and new enthusiastic Representatives are needed for change, that’s what I will do my best to achieve for the taxpayer.
