DTCs to Hold Gubernatorial Candidate Forums

The Democratic Town Committees of Westport, Wilton and Weston are pleased to announce that they will be hosting two Democratic Candidates Forums.

The first forum, scheduled for March 10, will include the candidates for Governor. Each of the possible candidates will present a brief overview of their qualifications and participate in a question-and-answer session.

The second forum, scheduled for April 19, will include the candidates for Attorney General, Secretary of the State, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer and Comptroller. Both forums will be held at 8 p.m. in the auditorium at Westport Town Hall.

"This is an important election this year and the Town Committees of the three towns want to ensure that not only the members of their town committees make educated decisions, but that all voters have access to those people who may be running for office," said James Ezzes, Westport Democratic Town Committee Chairman. "The opportunity to have Democrats from all three towns together makes for an even better working relationship as we head into the convention in Hartford this May."

At the March 10th forum, the candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor will include Ned Lamont, the 2006 Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, Dan Malloy, the former four-term mayor of Stamford, Mary Messina Glassman, six-term First Selectwoman of Simsbury, Rudy Marconi, 10-year First Selectman of Ridgefield and Juan Figueroa, a former five-term state representative.

Both Candidates Forums are open to the pubic and all invited to attend, meet the possible candidates and ask questions. Admission is free. Following the forum, attendees will have a chance to talk with the possible candidates at a reception in the lobby.
