No “Big Race” In Guilford But There Are Elections Tuesday

GUILFORD, CT - Guilford is one of those rare towns in Connecticut that doesn't elect a mayor or first selectman every two years.

Instead the first selectman position is elected every four years.

Since Democrat Matt Hoey was elected to his first term in 2017 there isn't any race for the top of the ticket to be decided on Election Day, Tueday November 5th.

That may take a bit of the drama that other towns will experience on Election Day - but there are other races to be decided that those who are running are hoping residents are paying attention to and will turn out and vote on on November 5th.

There are a total of nine people running for town positions.

They are: Democrats Meghan Scanlon, Michael Ayles and Republican Robert Hartmann, Jr. who are running for the Board of Finance.

Running for the Board of Education are Democrats Richard Hersh, Kathleen Balestracci and John Della Ventura; also running is Republican Kristen Marttoli Peck.
Runnung for the Board of Assement Appeals is Democrat Brian Wiley and Republican Cindy Cartier.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
