Like their counterparts in the competing party, the towns Republicans decided to stick with experienced candidates for this Novembers municipal elections. At their caucus last night in Town Hall, the GOP chose to nominate Board of Education members Clara Scartori and Susan Perticone for re-election. They also selected Donald Smith to run to maintain his role as Republican registrar of voters.
All three candidates have many years of experience, both at their jobs and in Darien. Smith has lived in town for over 40 years, and was the GOPs registrar for the last 19. Scartori has lived in the town for three decades, and has been on the school board for 12 of those. Perticone is the relative novice of the group, as this will be her first re-election campaign, but she still has three years service on the board and had lived in Darien for almost two decades.
The three join Democrats James Plutte and Tom Dunn, who are running for re-election on the Board of Education and as Democratic registrar of voters, respectively. Currently, all five spots are uncontested, and the incumbents are expected to keep their positions come November.
