A New Milford woman is seeking a state House seat in November. Democratic  Town Councilwoman Mary Jane Lundgren, who has served on the board for 14 years, has announced her candidacy for the 67th District position.  The seat is currently held by Republican Cecilia Buck-Taylor who previously announced that she would not be seeking a third term. 

The 68-year old Lundgren recently retired from 45 years of nursing service.  She most recently served in the intensive care unit at New Milford Hospital. 

Lundgren is also a member of the New Milford Substance Abuse Prevention Council, the Aging Commission, Housing Partnership and the Northville Residents Association.  She says public health related topics would be a focus for her.  She would also like to see the New Milford Bike Trail completed and bring development to the riverfront.
