Waterford Democrats Announce Candidates For Municipal Office

Most of the candidates running for Representative Town Meeting are incumbents but there are enough fresh faces to keep things interesting.

Waterford's Democratic Town Committee unanimously endorsed its slate of candidates at a meeting last night. With the Board of Selectmen and First Selectman positions out of the running this election, however, Democratic Town Committee Chair Bill Sheehan said his biggest concern is whether many voters will turn out for the November election.
