More About The Campaign
Miller is completing his second term as First Selectman and is facing an opponent for the first time since he won the office in 2011.
The first selectman has touted reforms he introduced at Town Hall after taking office and the improvement in Seymour’s bond rating as reasons voters should allow him to “continue to move Seymour forward.”
Imetovski has criticized Miller for not doing enough to “brand” the town, and has said he’ll do a better job in building Seymour’s grand list of taxable real estate.
