Newtown Democratic Hopefuls Gather at Castle Hill Farm

Democrats are campaigning on a message of "balance" this year, hoping to put more blue in town offices.

So the candidates — incumbents and non-incumbents alike — gathered Sunday afternoon at Castle Hill Farm on Sugar Lane for an informal meet-and-greet. As kids played in the corn maze or enjoyed a hayride, Democrats pitched their message to voters.

The candidates, from left to right:

  • Ross Carley, Legislative Council District 1
  • James Filan, Board of Finance (Incumbent)
  • Ann LoBosco Benore, Town Clerk
  • Herb Rosenthal, Zoning Board of Appeals
  • James Gaston, Selectman
  • Daniel Honan, Legislative Council District 2
  • Laura Main, Board of Education
  • Paul Lundquist, Legislative Council District 1
  • Michelle Embree Ku, Board of Education
  • Thomas Dwyer, Legislative Council District 1
