Wilton DTC Chair Response To Municipal Election

From Tom Dubin, Chair of Wilton’s Democratic Town Committee:

“This year’s Democratic candidates were the strongest group ever to run for office in Wilton. Their history of volunteerism is what Wilton is all about, and their personal and professional accomplishments are what our town needs to excel. Wilton would be stronger if every one of them had won, but we are very pleased with the overall results.

“On the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance, the elections of Bas Nabulsi and Sandy Arkell maintain the same Democratic representation as we achieved following the 2019 municipal elections. Keith Denning and Frank Bria were superb candidates who worked tirelessly during the campaign. I wish that we were able to introduce them to even more voters. We know that Keith and Frank will find other and new ways to make Wilton the best community we can be.

“We are particularly pleased with the Board of Education results. After decades and decades, this is the first time that Wilton Democrats have won an outright election majority on a major board in town. Debbie Low, Pam Ely, and Nicola Davies will work to ensure that every one of our students receives the highest quality education and that all are prepared to live and thrive in the 21st century.

“The DTC campaign committee rose to new heights this year. We owe special gratitude to campaign chairs Vicki Rossi and Melissa Spohn for their creativity, diligence, and sleep deprivation. We would also like to thank Town Clerk Lori Kabak, and Registrars Karen Birck and Annalisa Stravato. Through them, Wilton continues to model transparent and accurate voting procedures, even when challenged by a last minute fire alarm at a polling location.

“We congratulate all the candidates who will now lead Wilton regardless of party, and we wish them every success.”
