Welcome

As 2011 comes to a close, it is time to look back at the year behind us and ahead to 2012, a Presidential election year.

First, my thanks to all of you who voted in November to support our Democratic candidates and Five Es platform. We have elected an outstanding group of Democratic officials who are eager to reach across the isle and work hard to address the challenges facing our town of Madison.

In January 2012 we will elect a new Democratic Town Committee that will serve for two years, starting in March 2012. If you are interested in serving on Town Committee, please contact me.There will be many opportunities to participate in exciting election campaigns, including the Presidential, US Senate and House and CT General Assembly races.  Your involvement, whether large or small, can help assure an active two party system in Madison.

Finally, as we enter the holiday season, I would like to encourage everyone to have a “local holiday” and purchase gifts from local merchants or gift certificates for services from businesses right here on the shoreline, from hair salons to cleaning services to car detailing to restaurants.  And let’s not forget our local charities. Consider a donation to Neighbor-to-Neighbor, a local charity that is helping Madison residents. With huge cuts on the Federal level to programs like the fuel assistance program, local charities will need your donations more than ever before.
