From her experience on the Board of Education, to her participation in our town meetings, to her leadership on the DTC, she is a fierce advocate for residents and those who serve our town. Most importantly, as Democrats, we want open, transparent feedback from those who sit on town boards and commissions.
Jennie has demonstrated her ability to navigate the town budget process, investigate Jennie is a constant fixture in issues that affect the safety of residents, and she does it
publicly and openly with our town committee and residents from all political affiliations (or lack thereof ). Her accessibility and commitment to transparent government is much needed. We need a commissioner who is brave enough to ask questions, reject special interest groups and collaborate with others. We need a commissioner who will park their ego at the door and come to the table with solutions to problems. We need a commissioner who has demonstrated that they have
the moral fiber and ethical wherewithal to push back on backroom deals. Finally, we need a commissioner who believes in open and honest government and will execute this.
She has degrees in occupational therapy and special Jennie Caldwell has all these education and is pursuing a qualities, which is why she master's degree in healthhas my unwavering support. care management.

self does not qualify me for the Fire Commission, it does make me passionate about ensuring that the North Haven Fire Department has the necessary resources to keep our residents safe. The current fire chief has raised concerns about the state of the Fire Department for several years now. He has emphasized that we lack the resources to adequately manage both medical and fire calls. I served on the Board of Education for six years. When I was elected to the Board of Education, I continued to educate myself beyond my years of experience as an educator. During my term I advocated for transparency. All business and decisions the board makes should happen during board meetings, so the public knows what decisions are being made by their elected officials.

I have received the support of many Democrats who know both my opponent and me very well. They know I have the skills, temperament, integrity and passion that is needed to serve on the Fire Commission. I am a Democrat who takes this role seriously, and I believe that the good of the many should supersede the interest of a small but well-connected group of people. It is time for a change.

lion to build. We decided, working with the police department, that it would be a renovate-to-new,” said first selectman Michael Freda. “The original police department, which was built in 1965, was highly antiquated. We support our police department 100 percent here. We wanted them to have the best available facility.”
One of the “minor things” Glenn mentioned was some masonry work that needed to be completed on the exterior of the building.
Freda said that the new department would allow for “future growth down through the years.” He projected that the new department would last the town “at least 25 to 30 more years.”

They also raised an additional $2,500 for Brandi’s 10th birthday, which was matched by a “benefactor” from New York. “There are so many young kids getting diagnosed with this, maybe they’ll see her story,” said Todd Brandi. “It’s a disease that if you look at them, you can’t tell that somebody might be struggling with it.
