Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
In Seymour, incumbent Republican First Selectman Kurt Miller was running unopposed until mid-October, when fellow Republican Gary Bruce announced a write-in candidacy.
The Democrats are not running a candidate for the town’s top office this year, so Bruce said he wanted to provide his fellow residents with a choice, according to a Nov. 23 article in the New Haven Register.
Bruce is currently a member of the Seymour Board of Selectmen, the town’s legislative body. However, he did not receive enough votes from fellow Republicans in July to go for another term on the board.
Miller is completing his first, two-year term as Seymour First Selectman. Click here for his website.
