Wilton Democratic Town Committee

The Democratic Town Committees of Westport, Wilton and Weston are pleased to announce that they will be hosting two Democratic Candidates Forums.

The first Forum, March 10, will include the candidates for Governor. Each of the possible candidates will provide a brief overview of their qualifications and participate in a question and answer session.

The second Forum, scheduled for April 15, will include the candidates for Attorney General, Secretary of the State, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer and Comptroller.

Both the Candidates Forums will be held at 8 PM in the auditorium at the Westport Town Hall, 110 Myrtle Avenue.

Gubernatorial Forum

At the March 10 Forum the candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor will include Ned Lamont, the 2006 Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, Dan Malloy, the former four-term Mayor of Stamford, Mary Messina Glassman, six-term First Selectman of Simsbury, Rudy Marconi, ten year First Selectman of Ridgefield and Juan Figueroa, a former five-term state representative.

“This is an important election year and the Town Committees of the three towns want to insure that not only the members of their town committees make educated decisions, but that all residents have access to those people who may be running for office”, according to John Kalamarides, Wilton Democratic Town Committee Chair. “The opportunity to have Democrats from all three towns together makes for an even better working relationship as we head into the convention in Hartford this May.”

Both Candidates Forums are open to the public and all are invited to attend, meet the possible candidates, and ask questions. Admission is free. Following the Forum attendees will have a chance to talk with the possible nominees at a reception in the lobby.
