Democrat Savet Constantine has announced she will seek election to the 42nd District of the Connecticut State House of Representatives, representing Wilton and parts of Ridgefield & New Canaan. Constantine is a mother, wife, former marketing executive, and longtime volunteer with the Wilton PTAs, where she served multiple terms as President in addition to other leadership roles. This work solidified her interest in fiscal policy, education policy, and other issues facing our children and families today.

“The future in Connecticut has never been brighter, but that doesn’t mean there’s not work to do,” said Constantine. “I’m running to make sure that important work gets done and supports the best interests of our towns. Our family just lost my father-in-law, and the time and resources we spent navigating the medical and long-term care systems were a reminder that Connecticut can do better when it comes to healthcare. My own father arrived in this country from Greece with $50 in his pocket and was able to build a life for our family. We need a return to the American Dream that he enjoyed. We must also keep up the defense of reproductive freedoms, continue cutting taxes, and fight against sweeping, unnecessary mandates from Hartford. Local decisions should always be made locally.”

“Savet is the perfect candidate to ensure Wilton, New Canaan, and Ridgefield have the representation we deserve in Hartford,” said Wilton Democratic Town Committee Chair Tom Dubin. “As a longtime Wilton resident, parent and PTA member, she has the lived experience necessary to really deliver for voters, and she will always be there to listen to their concerns. She understands the obstacles our families and small businesses are facing, and she has what it takes to get them what they need. We’re very excited she’s decided to run.”

Savet Constantine earned her B.A. from Carleton College, and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University. Born and raised in Minnesota, she moved to Wilton in 2004 where she lives with her husband, Craig. Their two children are graduates of the Wilton Public School system and are currently pursuing graduate and undergraduate degrees, respectively.
