WILTON, Conn. – The slates of candidates for the Nov. 8 elections have been set by Wilton's Republican and Democratic town committees.

Republicans nominated First Selectman William Brennan for a fourth term. "Having been privileged to serve as your first selectman for the last five-and-a-half years, I am very grateful to many Wilton friends, associates and committee members who encouraged me to run for re-election," Brennan said in a statement. "My personal objectives remain the same — to continue to improve town governance, lower operating costs and strive to make Wilton a better place to live and to raise a family."

The GOP also nominated Selectman Hal Clark to the board's four-year term and Jim Saxe to the two-year term. Sax currently serves on the Board of Education. Second Selectman Susan Bruschi decided not to seek another term.

Democrats failed to put forward anyone to challenge Brennan in the race for first selectman. They nominated current Selectman Ted Hoffstatter to the four-year term and Richard J. Dubow to the two-year term. Selectman Richard Creeth announced this week he will not seek another term.

The rest of the Republicans on the ballot are: Christine Finkelstein and Lory Rothstein for Board of Education; Lynne Vanderslice and Al Alper for Board of Finance; Lory Bufano, Dona Pratt and Chris Hulse for Planning and Zoning Commisison; Sally Poundstone, Barbara Frees, John Comisky and Joe Fiteni for Zoning Board of Appeals; Fred Sindel for Board of Assessment Appeals; and Chris Dubrowski, Dick Ziegler and Chris Gardner for constables.

Candidates on the Democratic ballot include: William McCalpin and Laura Schwemm for Board of Education; James Meinhold for Board of Finance; John Weiss and John Gardiner for Planning and Zoning Commission; Steven Davidson and Brian Lilly for Zoning Board of Appeals; Charlie Lewis for Board of Assessment Appeals; and Richard Mitchell and Deborah McFadden for constables.

Residents will elect a first selectman, two Board of Selectmen members for four-year terms, two Board of Selectmen members for two-year terms, three Board of Finance members, three Board of Education members, three Board of Assessment Appeals members, five Planning and Zoning Commission members and three Zoning Board of Appeals members.

Mail-in voter registration continues through Oct. 25. Residents can register to vote in person at Town Hall through Nov. 1. The registrar of voters office will be open that day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
