Patch contacted candidates to answer questions about their campaigns.

Republican Lisa Pojano, 54, is running for Wilton Constable in Wilton.

Experience: I am currently an incumbent for Constable and serve as Vice-Chair of the town’s Historic District and Property Commission.

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

The single most pressing issue facing our town is that legitimate health concerns are being used as an excuse to further erode personal liberties and municipal home rule and self-governance. Over the years, I have been a voice for Wilton and provided testimony, to various state commissions, and to safeguard Wilton’s rights and democratic representation.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I have been reliably and dependably-consistent in my libertarian and conservative beliefs -from environmental and historic conservation to economic prosperity. I am proud to represent a party that believes in empowering and improving the lives of ALL, regardless of religion, race, creed, and or gender.
