Two years ago, I had the privilege of running for the Board of Selectmen in Seymour after serving 35 years as a teacher at Seymour High School. 

I won a seat for the Democratic Party and became a minority member of the Board. 

From the very first meeting, I began to ask questions regarding economic development.

Guest Column: Seymour Selectman Candidate Wants More Efficiency

The Town of Seymour over the past two years has seen some dramatic change, some of it highly visible and some hidden under the surface.

Our absence of a First Selectman candidate today is in no way — and I’ll repeat it again, no way — an endorsement or a statement of support for our current First Selectman,” said Democratic Town Committee Chairman Steve Kulas.

Rather, Kulas said, the few strong potential candidates had job or family responsibilities prevent them from running.
