Vote Malloy for governor

I write today about a man of character. That man is Dan Malloy. As we choose our Democratic candidate for governor on Aug. 10, I hope you will join me in my support for Dan. I had the chance to meet Dan when I ran for mayor of Milford. I learned that, like me, Dan cared about the environment, education, children with special needs and the importance of appropriate economic development. Dan shared with me some of his secrets for being a successful mayor. Most important, he told me, was to be there for the people you represent. Dan was there for me after Election Day. Dan was the first person to call with words of support after my defeat. Dan was there for me when I needed support, and I'm sure Dan will be there for Connecticut as our governor. Please vote for Dan on Aug. 10. I am.

I've recently been made aware of an effort to "draft" me as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of our wonderful State of Connecticut. I have to say that this effort has come as a great surprise. I'm thrilled and flattered that so many people, many of whom I've never met, feel that I have the drive, intelligence and leadership skills we need to help elect our first Democratic Governor in over twenty years.

While I've made no decisions as of yet, given the overwhelming level of support I've heard from so far, I'm certianly thinking about it. Stay tuned!

Get involved in local decisions
As published in the January 21, 2010 Connecticut Post

It's budget time again here in Milford. As I met our friends and neighbors last summer, time and again they expressed concern about the ways in which our precious tax dollars are spent. Well, now is the time to step up and be heard. At this very moment, our Board of Education is debating how much (or little) we spend on our children's future. Next month, our Board of Alderman will contemplate how many chairs Milford should buy and whether or not to fund our recreation department.

Citizens, now is the time to speak, now is the time to act. Attend the meetings, learn about the issues and get involved. This is your opportunity to have a say. Please don't waste it.
