PROSPECT After 22 terms in office, Mayor Robert Chatfield says he still has work to do.
Chatfield, a 77-year-old Republican, announced Jan. 29 at his home on Cornwall Avenue that he will seek the Prospect Republican Town Committee’s endorsement to run for a 23rd term as mayor.
“I’m a high-energy person and I’m not finished,” said Chatfield, who will turn 78 in August.
Chatfield, the longest serving chief elected official in the state, was first elected mayor in 1977. He has held the seat since.
