Fairfield is at a turning point and on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, you decide what kind of community we will be: a town defined by neighborhood and a sense of community, strong schools, safe streets, and responsible finances… or a town pushed toward becoming a city by rising costs, unmanaged growth, and decisions made without you.
This special election matters because the issues confronting Fairfield are urgent and personal. Families are staring at property revaluation notices with understandable anxiety. Even if spending stays flat, homeowners can still feel the tax increase squeeze when residential values rise faster than commercial values, shifting more of the tax burden onto the people who live here. Fairfield needs steady, experienced management that insists on disciplined budgeting, transparent decision-making, and real accountability, so revaluation does not become an automatic tax increase.
It also matters because local control is on the line. Hartford mandates and one-size-fits-all policies, especially around housing, can pressure Fairfield toward high-cost, high-density growth that strains traffic, public safety response times, school capacity, and long-term infrastructure. We can support affordable housing with compassion and balance while still protecting neighborhoods and planning responsibly. Fairfield must grow on our terms, not by default.
And it matters because strong schools are our promise to the next generation. Families choose Fairfield because of educational excellence, an exceptional student experience, academics, safety, arts, athletics, and support for student well-being. We must protect local decision-making, prioritize student mental health supports, and back educators with the resources and stability they need.
I have represented the residents of Fairfield for over 20 years and will continue my unwavering commitment to this town as the First Selectman. My approach is simple: people before politics and results over rhetoric, listening first, leading together, and delivering measurable outcomes. That’s why respected leaders across party lines like former NJ Governor Christine Todd-Whitman and former US Presidential candidate Andrew Yang have supported our campaign’s call for principled, solutions-focused leadership.
If you want affordability without sacrificing services, growth without losing our character, and leadership grounded in trust, competence, and community – VOTE.
Election Day is Tuesday, February 3. Polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at your regular polling place, and this election is open to all registered voters regardless of party. Early voting runs January 29 through February 1 (10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), at the Fairfield University Bookstore at 1499 Post Road, with additional parking in the rear garage.
Now Fairfield needs you.
I respectfully ask for your trust and your vote for First Selectperson on February 3, 2026. In a special election, voter turnout decides everything. Fairfield’s future won’t be shaped by the loudest voices; it will be shaped by those who show up.
