Mike Tetreau Announces Re-election Campaign with Nancy Lefkowitz

Town of Fairfield First Selectman Michael C. Tetreau announced his intentions to seek re-election to the Board of Selectman while District One RTM Member Nancy Lefkowitz announced her plans to seek the position of Selectman at a Fairfield Democratic Town Committee (DTC) meeting held on May 8, 2019 at Osborne Hill School. At a meeting attended by over 100 Democratic party members, both Tetreau and Lefkowitz were introduced by DTC Chair Steve Sheinberg. State Representative Cristin McCarthy Vahey was in Hartford on legislative matters and could not attend the meeting but send a message in support of Tetreau and Lefkowitz.

First Selectman Tetreau has been in office for nearly eight years and talked about his experience in managing the town effectively while keeping property taxes as low as possible. RTM Member Lefkowitz spoke of her desire to make government more helpful to people and her constituent work on the RTM. Both plan to carry the Democratic party's endorsement in the November 5, 2019 election.

Mike Tetreau has been Fairfield’s First Selectman since June 2011. His record of public service going back 24 years reflects his commitment to continuous improvement and the highest standards for the Town of Fairfield. Mike has served with distinction on the Board of Finance, Representative Town Meeting, Town Plan and Zoning Commission, and the Town’s Financial Planning Advisory Committee, where he spearheaded the effort to develop a five-year financial and capital plan for the Town. As chair of a special committee charged with maximizing state
reimbursements for school building projects, Mike ensured that Fairfield received millions of
dollars it was due.

Nancy Lefkowitz was elected to the RTM in November 2018 in a historic win for District 1 in Greenfield Hill. Nancy is married and mother to three children who all attend Fairfield public schools. Professionally, she is senior vice president of the Tribeca Film Festival, which was co-founded by Robert De Niro, shortly after 9/11. Nancy was raised in Westport and moved to Fairfield in 2002. She was inspired into activism by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
