With No Top of Ticket Race Parties Push To Get Out The Vote
There is little drama as far as the first selectman race in Branford as GOP incumbent 1st selectman Jamie Cosgrove is running unopposed.
BRANFORD, CT - With no Democratic challenger taking on Republican Jamie Cosgrove for first selectman on November 5th, both parties are working hard to make sure people come to the polls to vote for the other people running on the ballot.
Cosgrove will win his 4th term on Election Day. He has said that pushing to continue smart economic growth, especially along the Interstate 95 corridor and near the Shoreline East train station will remain a priority of his administration.
While there may not be a race for first selectman, there is plenty of action on the rest of the ballot.
