Groton Democrats, who control the Town Council, announced a council slate that did not include incumbent Portia Bordelon, though she received endorsements for Board of Education and Representative Town Meeting.
Republicans put forward a slate with both newcomers and people long involved in town politics, and are vying to reestablish two-party rule on the Town Council, which has been all-Democratic for the past two election cycles.
Democrats on Wednesday announced a slate that included council incumbents Juliette Parker, administrative assistant to the Groton City police chief; Rachael Franco, business manager at Norwich Family Dental Associates; Juan Melendez, who also has served on the RTM and Water Pollution Control Authority; Aundré Bumgardner, a city Planning and Zoning Commission members and former state representative; and Democratic Town Committee Chairman Conrad Heede.

Norwich One change has been made thus far in the Republican ticket for Board of Education for the Nov. 2 election.
Yamir Flores, owner of a pest control business, will replace Robert Dempsky as a Republican candidate for school board.
Dempsky, the Republican Town Committee chairman, said he ran for the post to ensure the party had a full slate of candidates. He said after the endorsement caucus last Wednesday, Flores approached him and expressed interest in running for office. Dempsky said he offered to step aside and give his slot to Flores.
