Leadership
Party Chair I am proud to be the Chair of the Wallingford DTC since April 2020. I have lived in Connecticut my whole adult life, starting out after graduating college as a union organizer for Local 34 at Yale University. I worked for the union through the strike of 2004, then focused on our young family and working with my husband building our two businesses here in Wallingford. After our first child was born, I joined the board of Beth Israel Synagogue and remained on for a total of fifteen years, serving ten as president. I currently work in the solar industry. My goal for our DTC is to get Democrats elected to office and to create a better future for all Wallingford residents. We need leadership in this town with an eye towards the long-term future, the same type of leadership that started the Wallingford Electric Division a hundred years ago. We have a lot of work to do to make that happen, but I know we can do it. My goal is to be communicating with all the registered Democrats of Wallingford—to hear what they have to say about what is happening in our town and welcome them to come get involved in making the changes we want to see. With outreach, communication, and voter education, we can change the political landscape in this town. Our actions locally will impact globally. |
Party Vice-Chair My husband and I moved to Wallingford in December, 1984. We raised two children in Wallingford, both attending public school. I volunteered at the schools throughout their public school years.Activism and volunteerism is an integral part of me. There are many goals that are achievable for our DTC. I am interested in creating more opportunities for people to speak up and volunteer, there is so much to be done. I bring my professional office skills and sales skills to this position along with my time, as I am retired. Everyone has a gift to share with the DTC. With a shared goal of getting our candidates elected to office in Wallingford, we can create real change. There is a role for everyone. When we work together we make a difference. |
Secretary I moved to Wallingford in November of 2023. I have two kitties and I am currently employed by the Yale New Haven Health System. I was hired in 2021 after completing a second degree in Health Information Management. Before getting married and starting a family, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science at Arizona State University. I moved back to Connecticut and was hired by the State Judicial Branch, I worked at Superior Court for Juvenile Matters and Support Enforcement for ten years. I have three adult children, Lindsay, Hannah and Robert. We lived in North Haven for 24 years. I worked part time when the kids were little and I volunteered in the schools and community as a class room assistant, Girl Scouts Leader, PTA Council Secretary, Sunday School teacher and Soccer mom. Later I joined the NorthHaven DTC and was the DTC chair for two terms, interim vice chair and Secretary for two terms. I also served on the North Haven Blight Prevention Appeals Board and Board of Assessment Appeals. Public service and volunteering has always been important to me, it is a great way to give back to the community. By working together I believe we can protect our Democracy, strengthen our core values and elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Happy to be part of Team Blue in Wallingford! |
Treasurer My husband and I moved to Wallingford in 2004. We have a 9-year-old son who attends Rock Hill and two dogs who keep us happy and busy. I'm a CPA who has worked in Tax for over 20 years. In addition to my day job, I opened and ran a small business in town from 2018 - 2023. This gave me the opportunity to meet many of our wonderful residents and also help other newer businesses going through the start-up process. I'm also a proud member of the Wallingford Library Board. The library is one of Wallingford's crown jewels, and its offerings and value to and impact on our community is tremendous. |
