Waterford The town has a lengthy list of Republicans and Democrats running in the November election, with a few young faces on the ballot.
The Democrat Town Committee endorsed 30 candidates Sunday night, and the Republican caucus adjourned a meeting Tuesday night to announce 27 candidates altogether running for Board of Finance, Board of Education, Board of Assessment Appeals, Zoning Board of Appeals and Representative Town Meetings. Couldn t be happier with the candidates we are putting forward this fall, said Cathy Barnard, the town s Democratic committee chairwoman. A nice mixture of incumbents, folks who have served in office before, and folks who have never run before including myself.

Election update: Karen W. Smith, Michelle M. Loubert write-in candidates for Great Barrington Finance Committee
Phil Orenstein had already submitted his nomination signatures, so his name is on the ballot as well. All three candidates are Democrats.
Great Barrington Karen W. Smith, who served 9 years on the town’s Finance Committee, has announced that she is running again, this time as a write-in candidate for the Finance Committee in the May 11 town elections.
“There are two vacancies on the Finance Committee, and there’s only one candidate on the ballot, Phil Orenstein,” she explained. “I was approached a couple of weeks ago if I would be willing to run, and I’ve agreed.”

The Stratford Town Council amended a resolution on racism before voting last month. (Anna Bybee-Schier/Patch)
STRATFORD, CT Several Stratford residents recently spoke against the many changes made to a resolution on racism before it was approved last month by the Town Council. Stratford is not the squeaky clean place that we think it is, there is a lot of implicit bias and there is a lot of discrimination, resident Barbara Heimlich said at the public forum preceding the council s meeting last week.
The changes to the resolution removed language that: referred to racism as a public health crisis, sought periodic reports to town administrators and councilmen on racial equity goals, and requested improved data on and analysis of inequities within town initiatives.
