Simsbury Republicans Endorse Slate for Fall 2013 Election

While much of the evening focused on its selection of Nancy Haase to challenge incumbent First Selectman Mary Glassman, the Simsbury Republican Town Committee also endorsed its full slate of fall 2013 candidates on Tuesday night. 

The candidates endorsed included sitting selectman Sean Askham and two who had announced bids to run for that board — Mike Paine and Cheryl Cook. 

As also previously announced by Simsbury Republicans, Moira Wertheimer has chosen not to seek re-election as a selectman but rather run for the Board of Finance. 

“We are thrilled to offer a diverse slate of candidates this year- all willing to give their time to make Simsbury a better place to live," said Barbara Petitjean, the Nominating Chair of the Simsbury Republican party. "We have a mix of seasoned incumbents and new faces and each person brings terrific experience, knowledge and expertise to the boards and commissions they will be serving on.”
