First Selectman Candidates Knickerbocker, Duff on Why They're Running

Meet the two major party candidates for First Selectman in this first in a series of interviews.

I sat down with Democratic First Selectman candidate incumbent Matthew Knickerbocker and Republican nominee William Duff to talk about the issues facing the town, their own political aspirations and why they believe they are the best person to lead Bethel.

Questions ranged from how to manage the town's water systems to economic development to the one thing they would change about Bethel if they could. (Both candidates had the same answer to the last.)

This first installment is an introduction to the two candidates and their reasons for running for First Selectman.

Check back with Bethel Patch between now and Election Day (Nov. 5) for more from the interviews.
