Slate of Candidates, Caucus Set For Southbury Democrats

The nominating committee of the Southbury Democratic Town Committee has put forward the slate of candidates for the upcoming municipal elections.

The unanimous vote was cast at the DTC’s monthly meeting last week and is now set for the committee’s approval.

“I am very pleased with the work of the nominating committee, for putting forward such a well qualified slate of candidates”, said Denise Forgione the Committee’s chairwoman.  “To see that the Selectmen are all willing to run again after their many successes these past 18 months is reassuring.  The strength of the candidates for Board of Education is very impressive.” 

The full slate of candidates will come before a vote at a caucus on July 17 at 7:30 p.m. The caucus is open to all Democrats in Southbury and is the point where the official candidates for the Democratic Party are elected. 

The approved slate includes the following:

First Selectman
Ed Edelson

Board of Selectman
Donna Pereira
Ed Gittines
Ron Pugliese

Board of Education
Patricia Perry
Rick Grayson
Marion Manzo
