Westport Republicans Seek Candidates For November Election

WESTPORT, CT — The Westport Republican Town Committee is looking for candidates to run for local office this fall.

In an email to constituents over the weekend, the party said that it was "seeking candidates for First & Second Selectman, Board of Education, Board of Finance, the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and Board of Assessment Appeals."

Earlier this month, Republican First Selectwoman Jen Tooker announced her candidacy for Governor, and said that she would not seek re-election as Westport's top official.

Westport Democrats put out a similar appeal for candidates last month.

"For questions about the positions available on the various boards or commissions, please forward a letter of interest and summary resume to westportrtc@gmail.com at your earliest convenience," Republican officials wrote.
