Former City Council member Colleen Stanley has been nominated by the Danbury Republican Town Committee to fill a vacancy on the City Council.

Stanley would replace Jack Knapp, who resigned last month to focus on his responsibilities as chairman of the Danbury Republican Town Committee.  Her appointment is subject to approval by the City Council, where Republicans hold a majority.

Stanley was elected to the Council in 2003, but resigned last year when she moved out of town. She has since moved back to the city.  

She owns American Paving in Danbury.
