- Westport, CT
I am a veteran journalist with more than 20 years of experience covering municipal governments, education, politics and a host of other topics. I worked at The Hour newspaper in Norwalk in the early 1990s, and while working with various publications and websites in the ensuing years, I realized how much I missed the hyperlocal journalism world. I was fortunate to be hired by Patch in 2013. I am a Connecticut native who still lives in Fairfield County, and I can be reached at alfred.branch@patch.com.
